Altered methylation levels of the 9 aging-related genes in
peripheral blood of asthma patients
As the mRNA expression of the 9 aging-related genes altered
significantly in asthma patients, we further determined the methylation
levels of the 9 aging-related genes in asthma patients. We analyzed the
total 856 CpG sites in the CpG islands of the 9 aging-related genes. The
methylation analysis result was showed via volcano maps (Figure 2). It
is showed that the methylation levels of 68 CpG sites were related to
asthma at FDR < 5%. The detailed information of all the
differential 68 DMSs were demonstrated in Table S1.
