About this book

Personalized Epigenetics, Second Edition discusses the core translatability of epigenetics to health management of individuals who have unique variations in their epigenetic signatures that can guide both disorder and disease prevention and therapy. Fully updated and revised, this new edition details inter-individual variability in the major epigenetic process in humans consisting of DNA methylation, histone modifications, noncoding RNA, and the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential of the field. It also reviews the impact of the environment on epigenetic variations among individuals and the role of pharmacology and drug development in personalized epigenetics.Most importantly, the text covers personalized epigenetics from a disease-oriented perspective, presenting chapters that provide advances in widespread disorders or diseases, including diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disorders, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and pain management. - Includes new chapters on topics such as the limitations of personalized epigenetic variation comparisons; personalized epigenetics technologies; epigenetics of personalized nanomedicine; personalized epigenetic management of diabetes; epigenetics and chemoresistance; and personalized epigenetics and neurological disorders - Covers key methodological processes that are important in personalized medicine - Offers disease research case studies to provide in-depth discussion of examples of recent epigenetic research on a disease area - Features topics such as forensic epigenetics, epigenetics of personalized toxicity, limitations of epigenetic variation comparisons, and nanomedicine and nutrigenomics as applied to personalized epigenetics
