PTSD is a devastating disorder that affects 7-12% of individuals who experience a traumatic event in their lives. Individuals suffering from the disorder show a dysfunctional HPA axis with decreased basal cortisol release and increased glucocorticoid receptor sensitivity. Recently, epigenetic studies have shown associations between trauma and the subsequent effects on the HPA axis in abused participants who committed suicide. Importantly, findings also showed child trauma as being a significant factor in DNA methylation levels in promoter region 1F in the hippocampus. This thesis shows the possible role of epigenetic programming of glucocorticoid receptors in PTSD while examining the effects of different timing of trauma. Methods included t...
