Epigenetic Germline Inheritance of Diet-Induced Obesity and Insulin Resistance. Issue 12 (December 2016) - Huypens, Peter
Abstract : (Abstracted from Nat Genet 2016;48:497–499) Several genetic risk factors for diabetes and obesity have been identified. In addition to genetic risk factors, it has been proposed that epigenetic alterations in gametes are another potential mechanism of disease risk inheritance.
