Abstract excerpt

This article reviews the literature pertinent to epigenetic changes, and in particular, DNA methylation following traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI is a heterogeneous disease that is a major cause of death and long-term disability. The links between TBI and epigenetics, the process by which environmental factors alter gene expression without changing the underlying DNA sequence, is an expanding area of research...
