A review of maternal nutrition and fetal gene expression.

Research suggests that nutrient imbalances during pregnancy may result in alterations in fetal gene expression. A thorough review of the literature appears to identify that maternal dietary intake of B vitamins, choline and methionine may reduce the expression of potentially harmful genes. This short review aims to evaluate how the maternal diet can affect gene expression and explain how this knowledge can be incorporated within the nursing practice to improve the long-term health status of the next generation.
