Change in FOXP3 |
Enhancer | CpG−138 | CpG−126 | Expression |
---|---|---|---|---|
B | −0.01 | −0.01 | −0.02 | −0.03 |
SE | 0.01 | 0.004 | 0.01 | 0.03 |
Change in IFNγ | CppG-186 | CpG-54 | Expression | |
B | −0.002 | 0.004 | 0.02 | |
SE | 0.01 | 0.01 | 0.04 |
B: Estimated regression coefficient. SE: Standard error
Relative expression of FOXP3 was measured using log transformation (variable+0.1)
Relative expression of IFNγ was measured using log transformation (variable+0.5)
Analyses controlled for both mouse allergen at baseline (natural log transformed) and CpG methylation or gene expression at baseline. Sensitivity analyses of gene expression including only those with qRT-PCR cycle length <37 did not alter the results.
N=179 for all analyses, with specimens excluded due to lack of 12 month blood specimen (n=12 samples from 11 individuals), or inadequate or pyrosequencing reactions failed (up to n=15 for IFNγ methylation analyses).
