Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chronic stress and adverse life events are major contributors to depression and anxiety disorders. Genetic variants that influence glucocorticoid (GC) hormone responses may moderate the impact of stress on psychiatric outcomes. Here, we use a functional polygenic risk score (fPRS) based on GC-responsive gene regulatory elements (GREs) following dexamethasone (DEX) exposure (DEX-fPRS) and examined its...
