There is mounting evidence that environmental exposures can result in effects on health that can be transmitted across generations, without the need for a direct exposure to the original factor, for example, the effect of grandparental smoking on grandchildren. Hence, an individual’s health should be investigated with the knowledge of cross-generational influences. Epigenetic factors are molecular factors or processes that regulate genome activity and may impact cross-generational effects. Epigenetic transgenerational inheritance has been demonstrated in plants and animals but the presence and extent of this process in humans is currently being investigated. Experimental data in animals support transmission of asthma risk across generations from a single exposure to the deleterious factor and suggest that the nature of this transmission is in part due to changes in DNA methylation, the most studied epigenetic process. The association of father’s prepuberty exposure with offspring risk of asthma and lung function deficit may also be mediated by epigenetic processes. Multigenerational birth cohorts are ideal to investigate the presence and impact of transfer of disease susceptibility across generations and underlying mechanisms. However, multigenerational studies require recruitment and assessment of participants over several decades. Investigation of adult multi-generation cohorts is less resource intensive but run the risk of recall bias. Statistical analysis is challenging given varying degrees of longitudinal and hierarchical data but path analyses, structural equation modelling and multilevel modelling can be employed, and directed networks addressing longitudinal effects deserve exploration as an effort to study causal pathways. Parental and grandparental exposures influence risk of asthma in their offspring, in part mediated by epigenetic transfer of information across generations. An improved understanding of these effects will help to better estimate the true morbidity and mortality resulting from environmental exposures, and subsequently to develop concepts for prevention. Recent evidence indicates that grand parental health status, nutrition, and environmental exposures might influence health outcomes in grandchildren. Therefore, the risk to individual’s health should consider not only parental genetics and exposures, but also grandparental and ancestral factors. While researchers have begun to systematically investigate DNA methylation, we have barely scratched the surface in the investigations of other epigenetic factors. Timing of exposures, biologically relevant tissues in which to measure epigenomics, and genetic background are important considerations. Cross generational studies can provide useful insights on transgenerational effect, especially where preconception exposure information is available.
