The present study examined whether epigenetic changes in FKBP5 are associated with chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) status in the context of FKBP5 genetic variation (rs1360780 polymorphism) among male veterans exposed to combat trauma.
Association between 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and development of acute and persistence of chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was prospectively investigated.
