Clinical Epigenetics on the Baltic Coast.

This report summarizes the proceedings of the inaugural Clinical Epigenetics Conference that was held in Szczecin, Poland, from 8 June 2022. With focus on epigenetic diseases whose causes, progression, and prognosis are associated with aberrant epigenomic alterations, the meeting was a timely forum to discuss recent progress in this rapidly evolving field and consider avenues for converting experimental data into clinical reality that would be beneficial for patients. The wealth of the presented data was an impressive showcase of the enormous challenges faced by researchers in their quest for understanding the benefits and limitations of the available information in the medical context. A shared view among the participants was that merging the current state of knowledge with clinical applications will be promptly achieved.
