Medical Epigenetics, Second Edition provides a comprehensive analysis of epigenetics in health management, across a broad spectrum of disease categories and specialties, and with a focus on human systems, epigenetic diseases that affect these systems, and evolving modes of epigenetic-based treatment. Here, more than 40 leading researchers examine how each human system is affected by epigenetic maladies, offering an all-in-one resource on medical epigenetics not only for those directly involved with health care, but investigators in life sciences, biotech companies, graduate students, and others who are interested in applied aspects of epigenetics. Incorporating both diagnostic and prognostic epigenetic approaches, this volume also fully supports the application of epigenetics in precision medicine.

This second edition of Medical Epigenetics, a volume in the Translational Epigenetics series, has been fully revised to address recent advances in disease epigenetics and role of epigenetics in precision medicine, with all-new chapters on skin cancer epigenetics, network analysis in medical epigenetics, machine learning in epigenetic diseases, and clinical trials of epigenetics drugs.

Reviews for Medical Epigenetics

This volume is wonderfully comprehensive and addresses all the relevant aspects of medical epigenetics. It will take a true expert in the field to digest all the information available in the collected chapters of this publication. Most commonly, readers will focus on one or a few chapters of most relevance to their own practice or research. Overall, however, this is an outstanding resource book that brings together all the most up-to-date discussions of medical epigenetics in one place. This is a must-have book for any medical school library. -- (c) Doody's Review Service, 2021, Mark F. Sanders, PhD, reviewer, expert opinion
