Individual epigenetic variation: when, why, and so what?

Nestle Nutrition workshop series. Paediatric programme - 1 Jan 2008

Gomes Marcus V, Waterland Robert A

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetics provides a potential explanation for how environmental factors modify the risk for common diseases among individuals. Interindividual variation in DNA methylation and epigenetic regulation has been reported at specific genomic regions including transposable elements, genomically imprinted genes and the 'inactive' X chromosomes in females. We currently have a very poor understanding of the factors that...
