Do epigenetic changes caused by commensal microbiota contribute to development of ocular disease? A review of evidence
Abstract There is evidence that genetic polymorphisms and environmentally induced epigenetic changes play an important role in modifying disease risk. The commensal microbiota has the ability to affect the cellular environment throughout the body without requiring direct contact; for example, throug...
