The early life environment and the epigenome.

Biochimica et biophysica acta - 1 Sept 2009

Szyf Moshe

Abstract excerpt

Several lines of evidence point to the early origin of adult onset disease. A key question is: what are the mechanisms that mediate the effects of the early environment on our health? Another important question is: what is the impact of the environment during adulthood and how reversible are the effects of early life later in life? The genome is programmed by the epigenome, which is comprised of chromatin, a...
