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
