Genes may influence susceptibility to interventions promoting maternal-infant attachment

(PLOS) Infants with a genetic polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene may be more susceptible to a psychosocial intervention designed to promote maternal-infant attachment in South Africa, according to a study in PLOS Medicine. In a study led by Mark Tomlinson from Stellenbosch University, South Africa, with lead author Barak Morgan from the University of Cape Town, South Africa and colleagues, data from a randomized controlled trial were reanalysed in light of new genetic data.
