Abstract

A preprint abstract from medrxiv.org discusses the intergenerational transmission of complex traits and the potential role of the offspring methylome. The study analyzed polygenic scores for various traits in a cohort of 1,528 offspring and their parents, finding significant associations between parental polygenic scores for schizophrenia, educational attainment, body mass index, and height, and offspring methylation sites. The researchers suggest that these findings may reflect the influence of parental genetic makeup or the environment influenced by parental heritable traits. It is important to note that this preprint has not yet undergone peer review. [Extracted from the article]
