Epigenetic Epidemiology
Editat de Karin B. Michelsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 apr 2022
Epigenetics plays an important role in shaping who we are and contributes to our prospects of health and disease. Unlike our genetic inheritance, our epigenome is malleable throughout the lifecourse and is shaped by our environmental experiences. Population-based epidemiologic studies increasingly incorporate epigenetic components. These so called epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) contribute substantially to our understanding of the relevance of epigenetic marks, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNAs for disease causation.
Written by leading experts in the field, the book opens with a comprehensive introduction of the principles of epigenetic epidemiology and discusses challenges in study design, analysis, and interpretation. It summarizesthe latest advances in epigenetic laboratory techniques, the influence of age and environmental factors on shaping the epigenome, the epigenetic clock, and the role of epigenetics in the developmental origins hypothesis. The final part focuses on epigenetic epidemiology of various health conditions such as imprinting disorders, cancer, infectious diseases, inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, metabolic disorder and vascular disease, as well as neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders.
Given its scope, Epigenetic Epidemiology is an indispensable resource for researchers working in the field of human epigenetics.

Karin B. Michels is Professor and Chair of the Department of Epidemiology at the Fielding School of Public Health at UCLA. She received a ScD in Epidemiology from Harvard University and a PhD in Biostatistics from Cambridge University, UK. She was Assistant and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School until she joined UCLA in 2016. Dr. Michels is a co-founder of the field of epigenetic epidemiology. Her work focusses on the early life origins of cancer, the role of nutrition in maintaining health, and the impact of the environment on the epigenome and the microbiome. She has published more than 300 peer-reviewed publications.

Recenzii
From the reviews:
“It aims to be both a primer in epidemiology for epigeneticists and an epigenetics reference for epidemiologists. … the field of epigenetic epidemiology is in ascendency and this textbook provides the first broad foundation for anyone embarking on population-based studies in epigenetic epidemiology. … Any prospective researcher aspiring to address any of the many unanswered fundamental issues in this field would certainly find this book a must useful reference.” (Catherine Potter and Caroline L. Relton, International Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 41 (1), February, 2012)
