Background: Characterization of the epigenome is a primary interest for children's
environmental health researchers studying the environmental influences on human …

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

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

Objective Health or disease is shaped for all individuals by interactions between their genes
and environment. Exactly how the environment changes gene expression and how this can …

Epigenetics, and especially DNA methylation, have recently become provocative biological
explanations for early-life environmental effects on later health. Despite the large increase in …

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

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 …

Current evidence supports the notion that environmental exposures are associated with
DNA-methylation and expression changes that can impact human health. Our objective was …

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

To advance our knowledge of the influence of environmental exposures on human health
and disease, robust studies are needed. However, for many exposures, robust studies are …
