Every year more than 13 million deaths worldwide are due to environmental pollutants, and
approximately 24% of diseases are caused by environmental exposures that might be …

Epigenetic changes underlie developmental and age related biology. Promising
epidemiologic research implicates epigenetics in disease risk and progression, and …

Background: It has been estimated that a substantial portion of chronic and
noncommunicable diseases can be caused or exacerbated by exposure to environmental …

Abstract Changes in epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation and histone acetylation are
associated with a broad range of disease traits, including cancer, asthma, metabolic …

The genetic material of every organism exists within the context of regulatory networks that
govern gene expression, collectively called the epigenome. Epigenetics has taken center …

Epigenetics investigates heritable changes in gene expression that occur without changes
in DNA sequence. Several epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation and histone …

This review focuses on how environmental factors through epigenetics modify disease risk
and health outcomes. Major epigenetic events, such as histone modifications, DNA …

This review considers the emerging relationships between environmental factors and
epigenetic alterations and the application of genome-wide assessments to better define …

It is becoming increasingly apparent that genetic factors are inadequate to fully explain
many processes that shape development and disease. For example, monozygotic twin pairs …

Throughout our lives, epigenetic processes shape our development and enable us to adapt
to a constantly changing environment. Identifying and understanding environmentally …
