Prenatal depression and 5‐ <scp>HTTLPR</scp> interact to predict dysregulation from 3 to 36 months – A differential susceptibility model

Abstract

Children with S or LG alleles, when exposed to prenatal depression, have higher levels of dysregulation, and when exposed to lower or little prenatal depression, have higher capacity for regulation. Our findings support efforts to identify, support and treat prenatal depression.
