Abstract
Maltreatment in childhood affects mental health over the life course. New research shows that early life experiences alter the genome in a way that can be measured in peripheral blood samples decades later. These findings suggest a new strategy for exploring gene-environment interactions and open opportunities for translational epigenomic research.
