Behavioral epigenetics and the developmental origins of child mental health disorders.

Journal of developmental origins of health and disease - 1 Dec 2012

Lester B M, Marsit C J, Conradt E, Bromer C, Padbury J F

Abstract excerpt

Advances in understanding the molecular basis of behavior through epigenetic mechanisms could help explain the developmental origins of child mental health disorders. However, the application of epigenetic principles to the study of human behavior is a relatively new endeavor. In this paper we discuss the 'Developmental Origins of Health and Disease' including the role of fetal programming. We then review...
