All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

A new analysis in Biological Psychiatry identifies distinct epigenetic signatures in cord blood linked to an increased susceptibility to schizophrenia and other neurodevelopmental conditions.

Genetic susceptibility to neurodevelopmental conditions such as schizophrenia, autism, and ADHD can be linked, in part, to distinct epigenetic signatures in newborn cord blood. An analysis of nearly 6 ...
