Epigenetic and immune function profiles associated with posttraumatic stress disorder
- M. Uddin, A. Aiello, +5 authors S. Galea
- Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 3 May 2010
The biologic underpinnings of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have not been fully elucidated. Previous work suggests that alterations in the immune system are characteristic of the disorder.… Expand
Implications of natural selection in shaping 99.4% nonsynonymous DNA identity between humans and chimpanzees: Enlarging genus Homo
- D. Wildman, M. Uddin, G. Liu, L. Grossman, M. Goodman
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 23 May 2003
What do functionally important DNA sites, those scrutinized and shaped by natural selection, tell us about the place of humans in evolution? Here we compare ≈90 kb of coding DNA nucleotide sequence… Expand
Evolution of increased glia–neuron ratios in the human frontal cortex
- C. Sherwood, C. D. Stimpson, +8 authors P. Hof
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 12 September 2006
Evidence from comparative studies of gene expression and evolution suggest that human neocortical neurons may be characterized by unusually high levels of energy metabolism. The current study… Expand
A genome-wide association study of posttraumatic stress disorder identifies the retinoid-related orphan receptor alpha (RORA) gene as a significant risk locus
- M. Logue, C. Baldwin, +8 authors M. Miller
- Biology, Medicine

- 29 June 2012
We describe the results of the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) performed using trauma-exposed white non-Hispanic participants from a cohort of… Expand
Genomics, biogeography, and the diversification of placental mammals
- D. Wildman, M. Uddin, +7 authors M. Goodman
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 4 September 2007
Previous molecular analyses of mammalian evolutionary relationships involving a wide range of placental mammalian taxa have been restricted in size from one to two dozen gene loci and have not… Expand
A primate subfamily of galectins expressed at the maternal–fetal interface that promote immune cell death
- N. G. Than, R. Romero, +22 authors D. Wildman
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 16 June 2009
Galectins are proteins that regulate immune responses through the recognition of cell-surface glycans. We present evidence that 16 human galectin genes are expressed at the maternal–fetal interface… Expand
Sister grouping of chimpanzees and humans as revealed by genome-wide phylogenetic analysis of brain gene expression profiles.
- M. Uddin, D. Wildman, +6 authors M. Goodman

- 2 March 2004
Gene expression profiles from the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) of human, chimpanzee, gorilla, and macaque samples provide clues about genetic regulatory changes in human and other catarrhine… Expand
Largest GWAS of PTSD (N=20 070) yields genetic overlap with schizophrenia and sex differences in heritability

The Psychiatric Genomics Consortium-Posttraumatic Stress Disorder group (PGC-PTSD) combined genome-wide case–control molecular genetic data across 11 multiethnic studies to quantify PTSD… Expand
SLC6A4 methylation modifies the effect of the number of traumatic events on risk for posttraumatic stress disorder
Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common and debilitating mental disorder that occurs following exposure to a traumatic event. However, most individuals do not develop PTSD… Expand
