Everyone experiences stress and unhappiness at some points in their lives. For most people, these unpleasant episodes are transient but for others they are associated with the development of ...

An increasing number of studies point to a strong association between the FKBP5 gene and increased susceptibility to depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health ...

The candidate gene FKBP5 is involved in the development of stress-related psychiatric disorders. A few years ago, researchers at the MPI discovered that it is increasingly activated in the brains ...

Scientists have now documented for the first time that genetic variants of the FKBP5 gene can influence epigenetic alterations in this gene induced by early trauma. Abused children are at high ...

The risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder rose with increasing severity of abuse only in the carriers of a specific genetic variant in the FKBP5 gene. FKPB5 determines how effectively the ...

The candidate gene FKBP5 is involved in the development of stress-related psychiatric disorders. A few years ago, researchers at the Max Planck Institute discovered that it is increasingly activated ...

Thirty-seven healthy participants were selected on the basis of four SNPs in the FKBP5 gene region (rs3800373, rs9296158, rs1360780 and rs9470080) to determine participants who were carriers of ...

Previous studies have shown a reduction in the expression of the FKBP5 gene in patients with AFib. Even though this gene has been well studied in brain cells, its role in the heart had not been ...

The FKBP5 gene encodes FKBP prolyl isomerase 5, a co-chaperone that modulates glucocorticoid signaling and that is expressed in T cells, neurons and in microglial cells in the central nervous system ...

‘Epigenetic changes to the FKBP5 gene, a key gene linked to the regulation of stress response in the body, were found in kids with abusive injuries. However, early diagnosis and interventions ...
