Parental genetic effects on the offspring's phenotype without transmission of the gene itself-pathophysiology and clinical evidence.

Abstract excerpt

Parental genes can influence the phenotype of their offspring through genomic-epigenomic interactions even without the direct inheritance of specific parental genotypes. Maternal genetic variations can affect the ovarian and intrauterine environments and potentially alter lactation behaviors, impacting offspring nutrition and health outcomes independently of the fetal genome. Similarly, paternal genetic changes...
