A significant proportion of human disease causality remains unexplained. It is increasingly becoming clear that Epigenetics is a key contributor to many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis and diabetes. Epigenetics refers to the external modification to DNA that turn genes “ON” and “OFF”. These modifications do not change the DNA sequence, but instead, they effect cells ability to “read” genes. This thesis investigates the role of DNA methylation in Obesity and Diabetes.
