This book will provide an overview of basic epigenetic phenomena;
interaction between epigenetic and genetic factors; and the
influence of epigenetic factors on inheritance. Epigenetic states
may contribute to the penetrance of genetic polymorphisms or
mutations and thereby modify inheritance patterns. This may result
in non Mendelian inheritance of genetic traits such as observed in
common human disease. The relationship between epigenetics and
genetics, however, has not been comprehensively summarized yet. The
topic is being more and more appreciated lately due to considerable
advances in genomic and epigenomic approaches to study the origins
of human disease. The editors will focus not only on describing
epigenetic characteristics, mechanisms and results, but also on how
considerations of epigenetics can alter interpretation and analysis
of risks for complex traits. This book will be a resource for those
who have been working in human genetics or analysis of human
genetic data and are studying the impact of epigenetics on
inheritance. An overview will be given of the impacts of inter
individual variation in epigenetic states from major changes
(errors in genomic imprinting) that cause congenital developmental
defects to subtle changes and their impact on complex traits. The
editors will discuss the relationship between epigenetic changes
and genetic changes in human disease. Several chapters will also
focus on statistical analysis of epigenetics effects, either in
human disease genetic studies, or in population genetics. "
