Epigenomic reprogramming of the developing reproductive tract and disease susceptibility in adulthood

Abstract excerpt

During development, epigenetic programs are "installed" on the genome that direct differentiation and normal tissue and organ function in adulthood. Consequently, development is also a period of susceptibility to reprogramming of the epigenome. Developmental reprogramming occurs when an adverse stimulus or insult interrupts the proper "install" of epigenetic programs during development, reprogramming normal...
