Recent methodological advances have spurred investigations potential epigenetic mechanisms for this inheritance, representing an exciting area emergent research. Epigenetics been described as means through which environmental influences "get under skin," directing transcriptional activity influencing expression suppression genes. Over past decade, complex environment-biology interface shown increasing promise a pathway intergenerational transmission trauma. This article reviews challenges facing research on trauma, biological findings posttraumatic stress disorder, putative effects, including social, intrauterine, gametic pathways.
