J Psychiatr Res . 2025 Jan; 182:338-346. PMID: 39848101
Background: The pathophysiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) involves dysregulation of stress-sensitive biological systems due to repeated trauma exposure, predisposing individuals to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Allostatic load...

Nat Genet . 2024 Apr; 56(5):792-808. PMID: 38637617
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) genetics are characterized by lower discoverability than most other psychiatric disorders. The contribution to biological understanding from previous genetic studies has thus been limited. We performed...

Hendrikse C, Luckhoff H, Fouche J, van den Heuvel L, Emsley R, Seedat S, et al.
J Neurosci Res . 2024 Feb; 102(2):e25308. PMID: 38361421
Childhood trauma (CT) may influence brain white matter microstructure; however, few studies have examined the differential impact of distinct CT types on white matter microstructure in psychiatrically healthy adults living...

Epidemiol Psychiatr Sci . 2024 Feb; 33:e5. PMID: 38314538
Aims: Prior research, largely focused on US male veterans, indicates an increased risk of cardiovascular disease among individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Data from other settings and populations are...
