 Our study found that mothers who experienced intimate partner violence had higher levels of methylation at a specific CPG site on their NR3C1 gene, which could be associated with increased risk of mental health issues. This suggests that epigenetics may play a role in the development of psychological distress in women exposed to intimate partner violence. Further research is needed to explore this relationship further. This article was authored by Danny Lorwajie, Nazer Marina, Chantal Martin-Sowelch, and others.
