Exploring The Role Of Epigenetics In Disease Susceptibility: Implications For Personalized Medicine

Abstract

Epigenetics, the study of heritable changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence, has emerged as a crucial field in understanding disease susceptibility. This scholarly article reviews recent advancements in epigenetic research and its implications for personalized medicine. We explore the dynamic interplay between genetic and environmental factors, highlighting how epigenetic modifications influence disease development and progression. Additionally, we discuss the potential of leveraging epigenetic information to tailor personalized therapeutic interventions for improved clinical outcomes.
