PG - 85-99 LID - 10.1007/978-1-0716-1994-0_7 [doi] AB - The prevalence of allergic diseases such as asthma is globally increasing, posing threat to the life quality of the affected population. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) suggest that genetic variations only account for a small proportion of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated type I hypersensitivity. Recently, epigenetics has gained attention as an approach to further understand the missing heritability and underpinning mechanisms of allergic diseases. Furthermore, epigenetic regulation allows the evaluation of the interaction between an individual's genetic predisposition and their environmental exposures. This chapter summarizes several large-scale epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) on asthma and other allergic diseases and draws a blueprint for future analysis and research direction.
