The medical geneticist as expert in the transgenerational and developmental aspects of diseases
Abstract
The increased knowledge of genetics has raised new questions, and confusion has been growing about the evaluation of the results of recent research and the role of geneticists in the genomic medicine. If we focus on transgenerational and developmental aspects of diseases, the answers might be more evident.
