Epigenetic Synchronization in Dyads

Meaning

Epigenetic Synchronization in Dyads is the observed tendency for partners in a long-term, shared environment to develop convergent patterns of DNA methylation and histone modification across specific genomic loci. This biological convergence means that the environmental and lifestyle factors they share are subtly aligning the regulation of their gene expression. Clinically, this synchronization highlights a shared biological vulnerability or resilience that is non-genetic in origin. Understanding this shared epigenetic signature informs a unified, preventative approach to their health.
