Cross-cultural gene by environment interactions in depression posttraumatic stress disorder and the cortisol awakening response: FKBP5 polymorphisms and childhood trauma in South Asia

摘要

BackgroundDespite increased attention to global mental health, psychiatric genetic research has been dominated by studies in high-income countries, especially with populations of European descent. The objective of this study was to assess single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FKBP5 gene in a population living in South Asia.
