DOI: 10.13056/acamh.25592



In this Papers Podcast, Dr. Charlotte Cecil and Dr. Mannan Luo discuss their co-authored JCPP paper ‘DNA methylation at birth and lateral ventricular volume in childhood: a neuroimaging epigenetics study’ (https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.13866).



There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.



Discussion points include:






  • Definitions of ‘lateral ventricular volume enlargement’ and ‘epigenetics process of DNA methylation’.

  • The advantage of capturing DNA methylation at different life stages.

  • How this approach will further knowledge in this field.

  • Implications of the findings for researchers, and clinicians.

  • Potential follow-up studies.


In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
