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

Epigenetic modifications help orchestrate sweeping developmental, aging, and disease-
causing changes in phenotype by altering transcriptional activity in multiple genes spanning …

The biologic underpinnings of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have not been fully
elucidated. Previous work suggests that alterations in the immune system are characteristic …

Asthma, a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airway, is influenced by interplay between
genetic and environmental factors now known to be mediated by epigenetics. Aberrant DNA …

Background Asthma is a complex disorder influenced by genetics and the environment.
Recent findings have linked abnormal DNA methylation in T cells with asthma; however, the …

Background Epigenetic changes in DNA methylation could regulate the expression of
several allergy-related genes. We investigated whether tolerance acquisition in children with …
