DNA methylation status compared between asthma cases and controls in the BAMSE cohort (n = 546) using adjusted linear regression models.

*Only homozygous carriers of the allele (rs2168891) creating a CpG site were included in the analyses of CpG site 1 (Asthma ever n cases/controls = 236/234, Allergic asthma n cases/controls = 120/234, Non-allergic asthma n cases/controls = 116/234, Current asthma n cases/controls = 103/234). **Only homozygous carriers of the allele (rs2168890) creating a CpG site were included in the analyses of CpG site 2 (Asthma ever n cases/controls = 196/201, Allergic asthma n cases/controls = 94/201, Non-allergic asthma n cases/controls = 201/201, Current asthma n cases/controls = 89/201). †p-value for crude linear regression model. ††p-value for linear regression model adjusted for gender, age at blood sampling and plate used for sodium-bisulfite treatment.
