Maternal epigenetic index links early neglect to later neglectful care and other psychopathological, cognitive, and bonding effects.

(Of note, the EMN estimation was repeated across different p value thresholds [i.e., defined as the limit of the top 0.5% p values and top 0.3%], obtaining consistent results across all thresholds, with strong highly significant correlations with the original EMN values [all r ~ 0.84, p < 10 −30 ].) Next, taking the 7718 values as data, we used a novel contrastive trajectories inference (cTI) algorithm to aggregate the DNAm data by identifying the trajectories of individuals aligned/ordered with the severity of epigenetic alterations hypothetically associated with maternal neglect.
