Schizophrenia Epigenesis?

Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics, 2000
I begin by examining how genetics drives schizophrenia research, and raise both familiar and relatively novel criticisms of the evidence putatively supporting the genetic basis of schizophrenia. In particular, I call attention to a set of concerns about the effects of placentation on concordance rates of schizophrenia in monozygotic twins, which ...

Mechanisms of Disease: Epigenesis

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2007
Genome-wide epigenetic modification plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression through chromatin structure and stability, tissue-specific and embryonic developmental specific gene regulation, and genomic imprinting. Mechanisms include chromatin remodeling through histone modification and DNA methylation, RNA associated gene silencing and ...

The Epigenesis of an Epigeneticist [PDF]

open access: possible, 2010
I’m going to begin this essay in the middle of the story, with a question the Johns Hopkins Medical School Admissions Director asked me in the spring of 1971, and also the question David Schwartz asked all of us in creating this book, namely, “Why did you want to become a physician-scientist?” I was a sophomore at Yale, and I had applied to medical ...

The epigenesis of sociopathy

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1995
AbstractMealey distinguishes two types of sociopathy: (1) “primary,” or obligate, and (2) “secondary,” or facultative. Either sociopathy evolved twice, or one form is derived from the other, e.g., through: (1) genetic assimilation generating polymorphism in the relative strength of biases favoring the development of otherwise facultative strategies, or

MAIN ASPECTS OF THE EPIGENESIS PROBLEM

Sedimentology, 1970
SUMMARY This paper presents the main trends in epigenetic research in the U.S.S.R. in the last years: 1 Study of epigenetic zonality in thick series of sedimentary rocks of various ages and tectonic regions, (zones of unaltered clay matrix, of altered clay matrix, of quartzitic structures and hydromica-chloritic cement, and of prick-like ...

The Epigenesis of Obesity

Human Development, 2017
What would it mean to take seriously a radically dynamic, life course approach to the epigenesis of obesity? This essay brings together concepts and perspectives from developmental systems theory, evolutionary developmental psychology, critical epidemiology, and public and population health into a complex systems framing of the problem of obesity.

Cancer and Epigenesis: A Developmental Perspective

Advances in Pediatrics, 2003
Traditionally, molecular geneticists have studied the genome, that is, DNA. This has included its sequencing, with identification of promoters, enhancers, introns, exons, and mutations. During the last 10 to 15 years, it has become clear that this study of "naked" DNA imposed major limitations on our understanding of gene regulation, and that DNA must ...

Epigenesis: The Missing Beat in Biotechnology?

Nature Biotechnology, 1994
The range of human phenotypes/diseases for which our burgeoning bio-molecular data base is sufficient to provide understanding, diagnosis, and therapy is small. Only 2 percent of our total disease load is related to monogenic causality, and even here the final phenotype is modulated by many factors.
