Abstract excerpt
Veterans of the 1990–1991 Gulf War (GW) experienced an elevated burden of chronic health conditions, most notably Gulf War Illness (GWI). While the disease etiology remains unclear, it is hypothesized that both genetic susceptibility and deployment exposures contribute to GWI risk. We investigated 6,882 GW-deployed Veterans, assessing genetic and epigenetic interactions with GW exposures (ground combat, insect...
