The genotype/phenotype dichotomy is being slowly replaced by a more
complex relationship whereby the majority of phenotypes arise from
interactions between one's genotype and the environment in which
one lives. Interestingly, it seems that not only our lives, but
also our ancestors' lives, determine how we look. This newly
recognized form of inheritance is known as (epi)genetic, as it
involves an additional layer of information on top of the one
encoded by the genes. Its discovery has constituted one of the
biggest paradigm shifts in biology in recent years. Understanding
epigenetic factors may help explain the pathogenesis of several
complex human diseases (such as diabetes, obesity and cancer) and
provide alternative paths for disease prevention, management and
therapy. This book introduces the reader to the importance of the
environment for our own health and the health of our descendants,
sheds light on the current knowledge on epigenetic inheritance and
opens a window to future developments in the field.
