Post-bronchodilator spirometry and CT scan measures (via Apollo/VIDA) of lung density, spatially-matched airway dimensions, and small airway counts (generations 6-9) were evaluated in models adjusted for age, age-squared, sex, height, BMI, principal components, smoking status, pack-years, CT model and voxel size.

To overcome the issue of residual confounding in observational studies and provide evidence on casual effects, we used Mendelian randomization (MR) with 332 SNPs as instrumental variables for age at menarche in women, and 18 SNPs for age at voice breaking in men. Age at menarche was categorised as early ( 14), while age at voice breaking was recorded and analysed as at a younger, average or older age. Based on 243,316 women and 192,067 men from UK Biobank (9.2% and 6.3% with post-pubertal asthma, respectively), we find detrimental effects of early puberty on asthma. In women, an 8% increase in asthma risk for early and an 8% decrease for late menarche suggest a linear effect of pubertal timing. Similar effects are observed in males, even though the power is lower and the confidence intervals much wider (Figure). There is evidence of modest pleiotropy, but our findings are consistent across different methods robust to pleiotropy (Figure). We show detrimental effects of early puberty on asthma. As similar patterns are seen in both sexes, the effect in women is unlikely to be mediated by female sex hormones as hypothesised, suggesting instead a role of common (biological or psychological) factors related to early physical development.

Metabolomics is ideally suited to explore the downstream implications of FADS2 variants on the asthmatic phenotype.

Metabolite Quantitative Trait Loci (mQTL) analysis was used to identify metabolites associated with 72 SNPs in FADS2. Mediation analysis was conducted to determine if the genetic burden of airway obstruction was mediated through alterations in these metabolites.

The balance of omega-3/6 fatty acid conversion regulated by FADS2 is crucial for the resolution of inflammation and dampening of airway hyper-responsiveness.
