Epigenetics and environmental chemicals.

Current opinion in pediatrics - 1 Apr 2009

Baccarelli Andrea, Bollati Valentina

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Epigenetics investigates heritable changes in gene expression occurring without changes in DNA sequence. Several epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and microRNA expression, can change genome function under exogenous influence. Here, we review current evidence indicating that epigenetic alterations mediate toxicity from environmental chemicals. RECENT...
