Impact of Endocrine Disruptors upon Non-Genetic Inheritance
20 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Similar to environmental factors, EDCs (endocrine-disrupting chemicals) can influence gene expression without modifying the DNA sequence. It is commonly accepted that the transgenerational inheritance of parentally acquired traits is conveyed by epigenetic alterations also known as "epimutations".
