Resumen:
Paper (en castellano) introductorio al concepto de Epigenetica presentado en Zeitgeist: Moving Forward por Gabor Matè
Abstract del paper:
Epigenetics refers to the study of how genes produce their effect on the phenotype
of the organism. This article is a review on the scope and importance of recently
discovered epigenetic mechanisms on human development and their relationship to
perinatal epidemiological issues. It shows a general view and present concepts about
epigenetics and its contribution to the comprehension of several physiologic and
pathological conditions of human beings. Secondly, it analyzes the evidence coming
from epidemiological and animal studies, about the influence of events that occur in
the perinatal and early postnatal periods on adult life and the possible epigenetic
mechanisms involved. Lastly, it underscores the implications of these results of future
research and the design of public policies that take into account the importance of
events in early life in the future development of individuals.Link:
