Epigenetic 'scars' of trauma pass through generations, study of Syrian refugees finds
80% Informative
An international collaboration of researchers published first -of-their-kind results.
They found that epigenetic signatures of trauma can be passed down through generations of people.
The study was conducted with three generations of Syrian families that experienced the Hama massacre in 1982 and the Syrian uprising that began in 2011 .
Children exposed to trauma in the womb appeared epigenetically "older" than their chronological ages.
The scientists don't yet know what differences these epigenetic signatures might mean for human health.
Mulligan suggested that the marks "might have allowed humans to adapt to environmental stressors, particularly psychosocial stress and violence".
