Abstract

The genetic influences of parents onto their offspring can be divided into genetic and epigenetic and mitochondrial levels. Genetic factors include the inheritance of nuclear genomes from the parents and the consequences of any chromosomal aberrations. Parental epigenetics, sometimes with transgenerational effects, involve non-mutational changes in chromatin structure and can be influences by maternal and paternal periconceptional development conditioning, nutritional status, obesity, and genomic imprinting.
