What are the criteria for determining the influence of epigenetic factors?
First of all, the nature of penetrance is almost entirely unknown.  Likely it's a combination of epistasis and gene interactions, induced gene regulatory pathways, developmental noise, and other factors.  Epigenetics (imprinting, etc) may have little to do with penetrance, while chromatin structure may be a consequence of other things (most now regard histone modifications, etc, as consequence of transcription rather than heritable regulatory mechanism).  Currently, the field of epigenetics is undergoing a (long-overdue) reassessment.  Until that happens, anyone who wants to make claims of "epigenetics" is free to, so spurious claims are rampant.
