Model for epigenomic changes in development and disease. Development is accompanied by changes in chromatin structure and regulation to endow terminally differentiated cells with stable transcriptomes. Disease upsets this balance, transitioning select regions of the genome into more dynamic conformations through effects on chromatin structure, enhancer-gene looping and alterations in histone modification, DNA methylation, and other factors. This model is based on findings reviewed in the current paper and adapted from Rosa-Garrido et al191 with permission. Copyright ©2017, the American Heart Association.
