摘要: We examined epigenetic regulation in regards to behaviorally and clinically relevant human brain function. Specifically, we found that increased promoter methylation of the serotonin transporter gene predicted threat-related amygdala reactivity decreased mRNA expression postmortem tissue. These patterns were independent functional genetic variation same region. Furthermore, association with was replicated a second cohort robust both sampling methods age.
