Recent research reveals that epigenetic changes, resulting from environmental and life experiences, can affect DNA across generations. A study focusing on Syrian refugees examined the genetic impact of violence experienced by pregnant women, showing that trauma can lead to epigenetic age acceleration in their descendants. This research underscores the interconnectedness of genetics and environmental factors, illustrating that the effects of violence endure beyond the immediate victims, influencing future generations in profound ways.
The study emphasizes that environmental influences and life experiences not only change your biology during your life, but may mark your genes for future generations.
Researchers found that violence and trauma experienced by a grandmother can affect her granddaughter genetically, suggesting a profound intergenerational impact.
