Testing for differential DNAm by asthma status, we found only five of these CpGs to be DMCs (i.e. significant for asthma at the Bonferroni level of p < 0.05/915, Supplementary Data 8): two CpGs for FKBP5 (cg03546163, cg23416081), two for TREML2 (cg26928682, cg18297196) and one for TMEM71 (cg27159719). This evidence concerns the gene FKBP5 and asthma.
