Examining the timing of trauma, PTSD onset, and DNA methylation: A multicohort investigation of candidate CpG sites
Allison Ashley-Koch, Terrie Moffitt, Avshalom Caspi and colleagues used data from participants in the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study and the Post Deployment Mental Health Study to characterized associations between traumatic stress and three cytosine-phosphate-guanine sites (CpGs) associated with trauma and PTSD. Their findings suggest traumatic stress is associated with cg05575921 in the AHRR gene, and that trauma and PTSD may be associated with changes in cg05575921.
