Changes in DNA methylation pattern following intervention in PTSD patients
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Objective: The purpose of this study was to observe changes in DNA methylation in service members who experienced PTSD. Methods: We compared DNA Methylation profiles in the blood of those with or without PTSD and also compared those with PTSD at both baseline and follow-up with those service members that only developed PTSD at follow-up (3-months after baseline). Blood was collected and analyzed at baseline and follow up. Results: In participants with PTSD, 10 genes were significantly hyper-methylated and 18 were significantly hypo-methylated. In the second analysis, participants that had PTSD at both time points did not present any differentially methylated gene regions. Interestingly, for individuals’ whose PTSD scores increased from baseline to follow-up, there were 8 hypo-methylated genes detected at the baseline.
