Genetics, epigenetics, and the environment: switching, buffering, releasing.

Abstract excerpt

Increasing evidence suggests that the interactions between genes and environment might play a critical role in the pathogenesis of complex diseases, such as asthma, that exhibit a heritable component but do not follow Mendel's laws. Gene-environment interactions are extremely complex and not linear, such that the same genetic variants might be associated with opposite phenotypes in different environments. This is...
