Video Summary
Dr. Andras Brastynchak from the University of Hawaii discusses the influence of epigenetics in electrophysiological diseases, specifically focusing on Long QT Syndrome and Brugada Syndrome. Epigenetics refers to the processes involved in the generation of functional proteins from encoded genes, including gene accessibility, transcription modifiers, alternative splicing, and post-translational modifications. Dr. Brastynchak explains how epigenetic mechanisms can affect the expression of certain genes and the phenotypic plasticity observed in these diseases. He also highlights the potential therapeutic possibilities that epigenetics offers in rescuing disease phenotypes.
