What Role Do Epigenetic Marks Play in Disease Etiology Due to Toxins?
Epigenetic marks are critical in the etiology of various diseases linked to toxin exposure. For instance, there is growing evidence that exposure to endocrine disruptors like Bisphenol A (BPA) can lead to epigenetic changes that increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, and reproductive disorders. These marks can serve as biomarkers for exposure and risk assessment, providing valuable information on how toxins contribute to disease processes.
