This review examines how maternal atopic status influences breast milk microRNA composition and atopy risk in infants, suggesting implications for early prevention.
Key Points
To explore the relationship between breast milk microRNA profiles and the development of atopy in infants, focusing on maternal atopic conditions.
Reviewed four relevant studies
Analyzed the impact of maternal atopic status on breast milk miRNA signatures
Investigated associations between specific miRNAs and infant atopy outcomes
Maternal atopy is linked to distinct breast milk miRNA profiles.
Elevated miR-375-3p levels correlate with a lower risk of infant atopic conditions.
Higher miR-1290 levels are found in atopic mothers, indicating its potential as a biomarker.
