Chronic Disease: A disease that persists for an extended amount of time. In order for the disease to be considered chronic, it lasts for about 3 months or more. These diseases often cannot be prevented by vaccines or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear.
In mammals, DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that regulates gene expression by serving as a maintainable mark whose absence marks promoters and enhancers. Recent epidemiological studies...
