4 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Maternal mental health during pregnancy has been linked to health outcomes in progeny. Mounting evidence implicates fetal "programming" in this process, possibly via epigenetic disruption. Maternal mental health has been associated with glucocorticoid receptor methylation (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1 [NR3C1]) in the neonate; however, most studies have been small (n < 100) and have failed to...
