Genomic Predictors of Combat Stress Vulnerability and Resilience
Description: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) poses not only individual suffering, but also a significant burden on the US health care system, with rates to develop PTSD after combat and other trauma exposure around 10-15%. PTSD affects only some of those exposed to trauma, and vulnerability factors are poorly understood. This R01 application seeks to determine genetic contributions to and predictors of the clinical outcome of PTSD, and thus to pave the way for novel diagnostic tests and therapeutic approaches to this difficult-to-manage disorder.
