Maternal care, the epigenome and phenotypic differences in behavior.

Reproductive toxicology (Elmsford, N.Y.) - 1 Jul 2007

Szyf Moshe, Weaver Ian, Meaney Michael

Abstract excerpt

The genome is programmed by the epigenome, which is comprised of chromatin and a covalent modification of DNA by methylation. Epigenetic patterns are sculpted during development to shape the diversity of gene expression programs in the different cell types of the organism. The epigenome of the developing fetus is especially sensitive to maternal nutrition, and exposure to environmental toxins as well as...
