IT'S IN THE GENES Thursday, October 2, 2008

A recent study published in the medical journal Pediatrics led researchers to speculate 1 in 116 children are born with the herpes virus passed through their maternal or paternal DNA. Caroline Hall, MD and professor of Pediatrics and Medicine at the University of Rochester and senior author of the study, says they will continue research to see if the affects of the virus differ for children born with it compared to those who contract it after birth.
