Epigenetic Health Markers

Meaning

Epigenetic Health Markers are measurable chemical modifications to the structure of DNA or its associated proteins, such as histones, that critically influence gene expression without causing any alteration to the underlying DNA sequence. These specific markers, most notably including patterns of DNA methylation, serve as quantifiable and dynamic indicators of biological age, the cumulative impact of lifestyle choices, and overall cellular health. Monitoring these markers provides a sophisticated, dynamic assessment of how environmental and hormonal factors are actively affecting the functional output of the entire genome.
