Child health, developmental plasticity, and epigenetic programming. (2011, result): “In contrast, results from studies of large cohorts of MZ twins that are discordant for cancer, which is one of the best known epigenetic-dependent diseases (354), have shown that environmental factors have an important role in the etiology of this disease (355).”
