Determinants of cord-blood IgE concentrations in 6401 German neonates.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In addition to the dysregulation of arachidonic acid metabolism in aspirin-intolerant asthma (AIA), aspirin acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) exerts effects on inflammation and immunity; however, many of these effects are unknown. OBJECTIVE:The aim of the study was to evaluate the methylation status of whole genom...
