How Do Genetic and Epigenetic Factors Interact in Response to Toxicants?
The interaction between genetic and epigenetic factors is complex and plays a significant role in determining an individual's response to toxicants. Genetic predispositions can influence the likelihood of epigenetic changes in response to environmental exposures. Conversely, epigenetic modifications can affect the expression of genes related to toxin metabolism and response. This interplay is critical in understanding the variability in toxicological outcomes among different individuals.
