How Mom’s Environment Can Influence Baby’s Genes
For decades, scientists have known that genes play a vital role in shaping who we are. But recent discoveries in epigenetics — the study of how behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect how genes work — reveal a more dynamic picture: a mother’s lifestyle, nutrition, stress levels, and even emotions during pregnancy can influence the way her baby’s genes are expressed.
At ITSI Biosciences, we believe understanding these mechanisms empowers families and clinicians alike. In this edition, we break down what epigenetics means — and why it matters for pregnant women.
