Understanding adverse gene programming in the womb (epigenetic changes) is a key part of the new frontier of science. Researchers have now proven that a low protein diet during pregnancy (malnutrition) induces a malfunction setting in a key gene known as Hnf4a, in turn leading to significantly increased risk for type 2 diabetes later in life.
