Host genetics, early-life microbiome, and childhood asthma: MARC-43 Boston
Description: Childhood obesity and asthma are major public health problems for U.S. children but effective strategies to prevent these problems are not available. Leveraging genetic, microbiomic, and clinical data from thousands of children in the NIH ECHO Program, we will examine the causal role of the early-life microbiome in the development of obesity and asthma. This research has the potential to offer a strong evidence base for the future development of targeted microbiome interventions to prevent childhood obesity and asthma.
