Genetics provides the blueprint of an individualās DNA, and the exposome represents factors that interact with genetic blueprints, influencing gene expression and contributing to disease. Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression that are due to chemical modifications to DNA. Thus epigenetics acts as a bridge, mediating the interaction between the exposome and genetic factors.
