Out today in @ejpt.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1080/2000... Jacob Knyspel shows that some of the genetic factors previously implicated in post-traumatic disorder vary in effect depending on the traumatic events to which people have been exposed. 1/5

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

A new study reveals that your genes may make you more vulnerable to #PTSD from certain types of trauma, particularly childhood neglect. www.maudsleybrc.nihr.ac.uk/news/genetic... @nihrbioresource.bsky.social @gladstudy.bsky.social @edgiuk.bsky.social
Genetic risk for PTSD may vary depending on the type of trauma experienced
Differences in people’s DNA have previously been linked to PTSD, but research on this topic has rarely considered how different types of traumatic experiences might affect these genetic links. We found that the broad effect of the genome on PTSD does indeed differ across different experiences, and that 
this is also sometimes 
true when we look 
at the effects of 
specific genes.”

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn't one-size-fits-all, & neither is genetic risk. New research suggests susceptibility may vary depending on the type of trauma experienced. bioresource.nihr.ac.uk/news/genetic... @gladstudy.bsky.social @edgiuk.bsky.social @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social

Taking part in NIHR-funded #IBD research literally saved mum-of-5 Victoria's life, after doctors discovered she had womb cancer. Surgery followed & Victoria is now cancer-free. Read her incredible story: bit.ly/4xqkh5k @cuh.nhs.uk @cam.ac.uk @nihr.bsky.social @nihrbioresource.bsky.social
