Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in health and disease.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Jun 2008

Whitelaw Nadia C, Whitelaw Emma

Abstract excerpt

Over the past century, patterns of phenotypic inheritance have been observed that are not easily rationalised by Mendel's rules of inheritance. Now that we have begun to understand more about non-DNA based, or 'epigenetic', control of phenotype at the molecular level, the idea that the transgenerational inheritance of these epigenetic states could explain non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance has become...
