Prenatal maternal stressful life events are associated with adverse neurodevelopmental
outcomes in offspring. Biological mechanisms underlying these associations are largely …

Prenatal stress and poor maternal mental health are associated with adverse offspring
outcomes; however, the biological mechanisms are unknown. Epigenetic modification has …

Prenatal maternal stress exposure has been associated with neonatal differential DNA
methylation. However, the available evidence in humans is largely based on candidate …

Background Prenatal maternal stress is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for offspring
mental health challenges. DNA methylation may be a mechanism, but few studies directly …

Background There is increasing evidence for the role of prenatal stress in shaping offspring
DNA methylation and disease susceptibility. In the current study, we aimed to identify genes …

Stress during pregnancy may impact subsequent generations, which is demonstrated by an
increased susceptibility to childhood and adulthood health problems in the children and …

Maternal anxiety during pregnancy is associated with adverse foetal, neonatal, and child
outcomes, but biological mechanisms remain unclear. Altered foetal DNA methylation …

Fetal exposure to prenatal stress can have significant consequences on short-and long-term
health. Epigenetic mechanisms, especially DNA methylation (DNAm), are a possible …

There is considerable interest in the potential nongenetic transmission of a suite of mental
health conditions across generations, with epigenetics emerging as a candidate mediator of …

Offspring born preterm (ie, before 37 weeks of gestation) are more likely to die or experience
long-standing illness than full-term offspring. Maternal genetic variants (ie, heritable, stable …
