A Genomic Study of the Japanese Population Focusing on the Glucocorticoid Receptor Interactome Highlights Distinct Genetic Characteristics Associated with Stress Response.

Abstract excerpt

All living organisms have been programmed to maintain a complex inner equilibrium called homeostasis, despite numerous adversities during their lifespan. Any threatening or perceived as such stimuli for homeostasis is termed a stressor, and a highly conserved response system called the stress response system has been developed to cope with these stimuli and maintain or reinstate homeostasis. The glucocorticoid...
