This study aimed to investigated the effects of PAH exposure interactions with SNPs in the AHR signaling pathway on childhood asthma and characterized the molecular pathway of asthma genetic risk based on the metabolome. A total of 370 children were included in the current study. Serum fluoranthene, benz(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(k)fluoranthene and benzo(a) pyrene levels were significantly associated with childhood asthma. SNP genotyping analysis revealed that CYP1A1 rs4646421 was significantly associated with childhood asthma (OR: 2.404, 95% CI: 1.542–3. 747) in Chinese children. Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis showed significant interactions between PAH exposure and rs4646421, increasing the risk of childhood asthma. Expression quantitative trait loci analysis showed that the rs4646421-AA genotype was significantly associated with the increased expression of CYP1A1 . Mediation analysis identified six serum lipid metabolites associated with rs4646421 that mediated the effect of the rs4646421-AA genotype on childhood asthma. To verify the potential biological function of rs4646421, a model of CYP1A1-overexpressing human bronchial epithelial cells was constructed. The results showed that CYP1A1 overexpression  \n†Xuna Tao and Xinfeng Xu co-first authors have equal contributions to the work.  \n*Correspondence:  \nSheng Yang [yangsheng@njmu.edu.cn](yangsheng@njmu.edu.cn)[ ](yangsheng@njmu.edu.cn)Qian Wu [wuqian@njmu.edu.cn](wuqian@njmu.edu.cn)  \nFull list of author information is available at the end of the article  \n© The Author(s) 2025.
