INHERITANCE & LIFE TIME Mapping chromosomal regions with differential DNA methylation in MZ twins by using comparative genomic hybridization for methylated DNA. Presence of green and red signals that indicate hypermethylation and hypomethylation events, whereas the 3-year-old twins have a very similar distribution of DNA methylation indicated by the presence of the yellow color. Fraga et al, 2005

DISEASES Epigenetic therapy with DNA methylation inhibitors (DNMTi) and HDAC inhibitors (HDACi). Combination therapies are likely to gain traction in the future because of the inherent self – reinforcing nature of silencing mechanisms. Future breakthroughs could come from the use to epigenetic drugs to activate miRNAs or use of drugs to target cancer stem cells after tumor debulking by estándar chemotherapy. (Jones & Baylin, 2007)

Changing the view of what Inheritance is. Our parents life is affecting us directly, during the eggs and embrio developments. Do the genes have memory? genes is not enough for this ammount of differences between individuals, even identical twins. The apereance of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, (BWS) is 3/65 by In Vitro Fertilization in Victoria, AU. Could this procedure trigger epigenetics switches for disseased? Is the imprinting an adaptation from the parents to the next generation? The Overkalix case, in Sweden (food availability and longevity). INHERITANCE & LIFE TIME
