Alterations in sperm long RNA contribute to the epigenetic inheritance of the effects of postnatal trauma
2018-08-07
Abstract excerpt
Psychiatric diseases have a strong heritable component known to not be restricted to DNA sequence-based genetic inheritance alone but to also involve epigenetic factors in germ cells 1,2 . Initial evidence suggested that sperm RNA is causally linked 2,3 to the transmission of symptoms induced by traumatic experiences. Here we show that alterations in long RNA in sperm contribute to the inheritance of specific tr...
