Maternal-foetal epigenetic interactions in the beginning of cardiovascular damage.

Abstract excerpt

Several studies indicate that impaired foetal growth, and in utero exposure to risk factors, especially maternal hypercholesterolaemia, may be relevant for the early onset of cardiovascular damage. The exact molecular mechanisms of such foetal programming are still unclear. Epigenetics may represent one of the possible scientific explanations of the impact of such intrauterine risk factors for the subsequent...
