Environmental epigenetics

This template is not to be used in article space.

This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.

If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live.

If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here.

Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content.

Article body

During embryonic development, gene expression is determined by epigenetics. Gene expression is explicitly influenced by the environment and determines phenotype. When the fetus is still developing, external factors that exclude lifestyle choices genes are turned on and off depending on the degree of exposure. When certain genes are turned on and off it increases the risk of developmental diseases or abnormal phenotypes. Environmental influence on epigenetics is highly variable and risks detrimental diseases being expressed at both early and adult life stages^[1].
