This paper reviews the research evidence concerning the intergenerational transmission of
trauma effects and the possible role of epigenetic mechanisms in this transmission. Two …

The hypothesis that offspring are affected by parental trauma or stress exposure, first noted
anecdotally, is now supported empirically by data from Holocaust survivor offspring cohorts …

Background The involvement of epigenetic mechanisms in intergenerational transmission of
stress effects has been demonstrated in animals but not in humans. Methods Cytosine …
