Epigenetic Signatures of Cigarette Smoking

Roby Joehanes, +86 more
TL;DR: Cigarette smoking has a broad impact on genome-wide methylation that, at many loci, persists many years aftersmoking cessation, indicating a pattern of persistent altered methylation, with attenuation, after smoking cessation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence variants in SLC16A11 are a common risk factor for type 2 diabetes in Mexico

A. L. Williams Amy, +128 more
- 06 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: Analysis in Mexican and Latin American individuals identified SLC16A11 as a novel candidate gene for type 2 diabetes with a possible role in triacylglycerol metabolism and an archaic genome sequence indicated that the risk haplotype introgressed into modern humans via admixture with Neanderthals.
Journal Article

Genetic polymorphism of GSTM1 and antioxidant supplementation influence lung function in relation to ozone exposure in asthmatic children in Mexico City

TL;DR: Asthmatic children with a genetic deficiency of GSTM1 may be more susceptible to the deleterious effects of ozone on the small airways and might derive greater benefit from antioxidant supplementation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant supplementation and lung functions among children with asthma exposed to high levels of air pollutants.

TL;DR: In children with moderate and severe asthma, ozone levels 1 day before spirometry were inversely associated significantly with forced expiratory flow (FEF(25-75) and PEF), and supplementation with antioxidants might modulate the impact of ozone exposure on the small airways of children with severe asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lung function growth in children with long-term exposure to air pollutants in Mexico City.

TL;DR: After adjusting for acute exposure and other potential confounding factors, deficits in FVC and FEV1 growth over the 3-year follow-up period were significantly associated with exposure to O3, PM10, and NO2.
