Hidden hypotheses in 'hypothesis-free' genome-wide epigenetic associations.

Current opinion in psychology - 1 Jun 2019

Barker Edward D, Roberts Susanna, Walton Esther

Abstract excerpt

The recent interest in epigenetics within mental health research, from a developmental perspective, stems from the potential of DNA methylation to index both exposure to adversity and vulnerability for mental health problems. Genome-wide technology has facilitated epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS), permitting 'hypothesis-free' examinations in relation to adversity and/or mental health problems. In EWAS,...
