Now in its second edition, this book provides a state of the art overview on basic concepts of epigenetic epidemiology and a comprehensive review of the rapidly evolving field of human epigenetics. Epigenetics plays an important role in shaping who we are and contributes to our prospects of health and disease. Unlike our genetic inheritance, our epigenome is malleable throughout the lifecourse and is shaped by our environmental experiences. Po...

The exploding field of epigenetics is challenging the dogma of traditional Mendelian inheritance.  Epigenetics plays an  important role in shaping who we are and contributes to our prospects of health and disease.  While early epigenetic research focused on plant and animal models and in vitro experiments, population-based epidemiologic studies increasingly incorporate epigenetic components.  The relevance of epigenetic marks, such as DNA meth...
