A discussion of epigenetics and inherited disease risk is resonating: standing at a family funeral, people confront the pattern of a grandfather's illness repeating in a father's diagnosis. The conversation centres on how gene expression can be switched by environment and lifestyle, and whether knowing a family history of disease changes what relatives can do about their own risk.
Why now: Hereditary illness and the science of epigenetics touch personal fears about family health patterns, prompting wide discussion.
