2️⃣ Higher levels of cumulative family stress was related to DNA methylation primarily in stress- and immune-related genes (e.g., FKBP5, SLC6A3, TNF).
3️⃣ Negative mother-child relationship quality partially explained the DNA methylation association with cumulative family stress.

[Dr. Meingold Chan🇭🇰 @ChanMeingold]

Thrilled to share that the first ever project that allowed me to marry my new passion of #epigenetics with my love of #FamilyScience has been published in one of my favorite journals @devpsybio.
What a great way to start my first semester as an Assistant Professor @PurdueHDFS ✨

[Dr. Meingold Chan🇭🇰 @ChanMeingold]

Here is what we found:
1️⃣ Comparing across two accessible human tissues-cheek swab 👄 and blood 🩸 , we found that cumulative family stress in middle childhood was reflected only in blood DNA methylation but not in cheek swab.
