Evidence for germline non-genetic inheritance of human phenotypes and diseases.

Clinical epigenetics - 11 Sept 2020

Senaldi Liana, Smith-Raska Matthew

Abstract excerpt

It is becoming increasingly apparent that certain phenotypes are inherited across generations independent of the information contained in the DNA sequence, by factors in germ cells that remain largely uncharacterized. As evidence for germline non-genetic inheritance of phenotypes and diseases continues to grow in model organisms, there are fewer reports of this phenomenon in humans, due to a variety of...
