Child Abuse May Leave a Lasting Mark on Victims’ DNA

Victims of child abuse may bear chemical marks on their genomes that alter the way they respond to stress as adults, according to a small study. Researchers say they detected changes, almost like genetic scars, to a region of the genome that either promotes or tamps down the expression of a certain gene involved in stress responses. This could help explain why childhood abuse, such as sexual abuse or neglect, can cause depression, other mental health effects and suicide, and could some day lead to treatments to help victims overcome their abusive childhoods [Reuters].

Interesting, but I think Im beyond :help:

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I wouldn't call that marking DNA. That would be mutating genetic sequences.

As with anything else that modulates behaviors (addiction, stress, diet, etc)... the proteins that act out these behavioral outcomes directly onto DNA would be expected to work in differing amounts for different individuals.

Goes to show you, on many different themes... that even thinking in certain ways (obsessive, crazy, etc) can have lasting outcomes on an individual's genetic expression on the long run.

Wishing you ten-fold that which you wish upon all others.

Thank God for Tony Robbins.
