Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Epigenome-Wide Association Studies in the Million Veteran Program

Regression analyses showed that PTSD case status was significantly associated with accelerated DNA methylation aging, and smoking status stratification suggested that the association between PTSD and methylation of the AHRR gene may be confounded by smoking status.

Whole-exome sequencing of schizophrenia in an underrepresented indigenous population of Northeast India: Rare coding variant burden and clinical correlates.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder, and emerging evidence suggests that neurodevelopmental and synaptic dysfunction are critical factors in the pathogenesis of the disorder. This study investigated schizophrenia-related genetic variation in the genetically distinct and endogamous Mizo population of Northeast Ind...

Rare coding variation implicates thirteen genes in bipolar disorder across 232,536 individuals from global populations

Together, these results implicate a constellation of rare variants that map onto neuronal biology and demonstrate that diverse global populations converge on shared genetic signals underlying BD risk.

A founder population reveals genetic variation with major effect on serious mental illness

Genetic studies of serious mental illness (SMI, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder) have implicated two classes of risk variant: common variants1-3, each of small effect but collectively accounting for most population-level risk, and ultra-rare coding variants4,5 which confer large risk in a small number of i...

Identifying differential interactions of potentially traumatic experiences with genetic risk for posttraumatic stress disorder

ABSTRACT Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) occurs following potentially traumatic experiences, but not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD. Genetic factors play an important role in shaping how individuals respond to trauma, reflecting gene-environment interaction. An open and important questio...

The stuff that dreams are made of: Genomics and biology of nightmares

Frequent nightmares affect roughly 2-6% of the population and may reflect underlying psychopathology, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or, when recurrent and distressing, be diagnosed as nightmare disorder (ND). The genetic basis of nightmares remains poorly understood. We performed a genome-wide associat...
