Duration of contact sports play associated with aberrant DNA methylation in human frontal cortex

2025-12-01

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Repetitive head impacts (RHI), primarily through contact sports play and military service, are a recognized risk factor for cognitive and behavioral symptoms, as well as progressive neurodegenerative diseases such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy. While altered DNA methylation has been linked to environmental exposures and neurodegeneration, its association with RHI remains unknown....
