But if these epigenetic changes acquired during life can indeed also be passed on to later generations, the implications would be huge. Your experiences during your lifetime – particularly traumatic ones – would have a very real impact on your family for generations to come. There are a growing number of studies that support the idea that the effects of trauma can reverberate down the generations through epigenetics.For the PoWs in the Confederate camps, these epigenetic changes were a result of the extreme overcrowding, poor sanitation and malnutrition. The men had to survive on small rations of corn, and many died from diarrhoea and scurvy.
如果人一生中所出现的表观遗传变化确实会遗传给后代,那么其影响将是巨大的。你一生的经历——尤其是创伤性经历——将切实影响家里的若干代人。越来越多的研究都认为,创伤后遗症可以通过表观遗传影响几代人。对于南方战俘营的俘虏来说,这些表观遗传变化是由人满为患、卫生条件恶劣和营养不良造成的。他们的口粮只有一点点玉米,许多人死于腹泻和坏血病。
