Genetics and Epigenetics in Neurodegenerative Disorders

Genetics studies how variations in the cell or organism occur due to DNA sequences, whereas epigenetics focuses on the regulation of DNA that leads to these changes. Neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Prion disease, and others are significantly influenced by environmental factors, impacting alterations in the epigenome. The investigations related to epigenetics in neurons are referred to as neuroepigenetics.
