Abstract
Genetics is explored as both part of our undergraduate medical training and then postgraduate education in general practice. Epigenetics is a rapidly progressing field that will increasingly become part of our everyday practice as we enter an era of personalised medicine. But what is epigenetics and how does it differ from genetics? Why is it important to GPs? Epigenetics is a relatively new concept, but one with wide reaching and important implications for everyday clinical practice. Here we aim to describe the concepts behind epigenetics, discuss the inheritability of the epigenome, and its importance and applicability to patients in general practice.
