Medical Epigenetics, 2nd Edition, provides a comprehensive analysis of epigenetics in health management across diverse disease categories and human organ systems. A volume in the Translational Epigenetics series edited by Trygve O. Tollefsbol, the text explores system-specific disorders alongside evolving epigenetic-based treatments.
Coverage progresses from individual system disorders to multi-system conditions that involve epigenetic alterations. The book incorporates diagnostic and prognostic epigenetic approaches to support precision medicine, examining areas such as twin epigenetics, gastrointestinal disease, and sports medicine.
Contributed by more than 40 researchers and clinicians, this reference serves geneticists, translational researchers, clinicians, developmental biologists, and graduate students in the biosciences. It was selected for Doody's Core Titles in Clinical Genetics for 2024.
