  Epigenetics\'s Function in Cardiovascular and Periodontal Diseases
  Author(s): Maglio Urganci*
  
  Epigenetics, the study of heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence itself, has emerged as a crucial field in understanding the pathogenesis of various diseases. This article explores the role of epigenetics in two distinct yet interconnected health conditions: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and periodontal diseases (PD). Both diseases are influenced by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors, where epigenetic mechanisms provide a nuanced understanding of disease susceptibility, progression and potential therapeutic targets. This review highlights current research findings on epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and non-coding RNAs in the context of CVD and PD, underscoring their impact on gene regulation, inflammation and tissue remodeling.
