According to Chadwick, current hypotheses lean toward epigenetic inheritance patterns, which involve chemical modifications to the DNA rather than mutations of the DNA sequence itself. According to Roseboom, this finding suggests prenatal famine could lead to changes in gene expression via changes i...
