Study design and structure of this paper. We collected cord blood and peripheral blood samples from 632 children from four European birth cohorts: INMA, EDEN, BAMSE and PIAMA. Differential methylation analysis on different age groups resulted in 14,150 consistent age-differential methylation sites (a-DMSs). We then linked the methylation change of these a-DMSs to genetics by cis-dMeQTL, to environmental exposure from maternal smoking, and to diseases, specifically asthma
