Epigenetic studies reveal how our genes (nature) are influenced by environment (nurture) leading to wide variability in clinical presentations, especially in autoimmune diseases. Patients with C1‐inhibitor deficiency, even within the same family, have diverse clinical presentations that may reflect epigenetic control of gene expression by hormones or inflammatory signals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
