Explaining inter-individual variability in phenotype: is epigenetics up to the challenge?

Epigenetics - 1 Jan 2010

Turan Nahid, Katari Sunita, Coutifaris Christos, Sapienza Carmen

Abstract excerpt

The hypothesis that environmental factors alter somatically heritable epigenetic marks and change long-term patterns of gene expression is an exciting possibility in human disease research. Because most common diseases, and many quantitative traits, are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, environmentally induced changes in epigenetic structures can provide a mechanistic link between genes and...
