Abstract
At present, epigenetics is being studied in detail and actively, and the significance of epigenetics in the development of multifactorial diseases has been determined. In this regard, a large number of publications have recently appeared that analyze the results of studies using epigenetic markers. The obtained promising results indicate the possibility of early detection and prediction of many multifactorial diseases. This review briefly outlines the theoretical foundations of epigenetics and epigenetic mechanisms. The participation of epigenetics in the formation of multifactorial pathology is considered on the example of celiac disease, multiple sclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, confirmed by the identified epigenetic markers.
