Validating Biomarkers for PTSD

Abstract

Validating markers is particularly important, as few biomarkers for PTSD studies have replicated findings following the test results and even fewer have examined the stability of biological markers longitudinally. Those longitudinal studies which have been conducted in PTSD suggest that neural activity may change with symptom trajectories. Longitudinal stress research suggests that other biomarkers may change over time, including gene expression and neuroendocrine functioning. One of the aims of the proposed study is to fill this gap in knowledge, by re-evaluating 70 participants from our original sample (35 PTSD+ and 35 PTSD-) to confirm the stability of biomarkers.
