Hidden pandemic: COVID-19-related stress, SLC6A4 methylation, and infants’ temperament at 3 months

2 Aug 2021

Abstract excerpt

The COVID-19 pandemic represents a collective trauma that may have enduring stress effects during sensitive periods, such as pregnancy. Prenatal stress may result in epigenetic signatures of stress-related genes (e.g., the serotonin transporter gene, SLC6A4) that may in turn influence infants' behavioral development. In April 2020, we launched a longitudinal cohort study to assess the behavioral and epigenetic...
