Epigenetic basis for fetal origins of age-related disease.

Journal of women's health (2002) - 1 Mar 2010

Thompson Reid F, Einstein Francine H

Abstract excerpt

The current concept of fetal origins of adult diseases describes in utero programming, or adaptation to a spectrum of adverse environmental conditions that ultimately leads to increased susceptibility to age-related diseases (e.g., type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease) later in life. Although the precise mechanism of this biological memory remains unclear, mounting evidence suggests an epigenetic basis. The...
