Original Text 'In the 1990s, it was proposed that breast cancer originates in utero. Since then, an overwhelming number of studies in human cohorts and animal models have provided support for that hypothesis. It is becoming clear, however, that exposure in the parent generation can lead to multigenerational and transgenerational inheritance of breast cancer. Importantly, recent data from our lab and others show that pre-conception paternal diets reprogram the male germline and modulate breast cancer development in offspring. This review explores the emerging evidence for transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of breast cancer focusing on studies associated with ancestral nutritional factors or related markers such as birth weight.

Cited Text: Since 1990, it has been determined certain cancers, such as breast cancer, originates during the fetal stages within the uterus. Furthermore, evidence collected in studies utilizing model systems (i.e. animals) have found that exposure during parental generations can lead to multigenerational and transgenerational inheritance of breast cancer.
