DNA sequence accounts for the majority of disease heritability, including cancer. Yet, not all familial cancer cases can be explained by genetic factors. It is becoming clear that environmentally induced epigenetic inheritance occurs and that the progeny’s traits can be shaped by parental environmental experiences.
