Specializes in Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Yes!: Epigenomic modification of the fetal dna is now considered the main mechanism for foad (fetal origins of adult disease), as professor barker hypothesized (see. Dr. Aagaard-tillery's papers). The theory is accepted worldwide now and makes teleological sense.
