Exposure to life-threatening events is common and everyone will most likely experience this type of trauma during their lifetime. Reactions these are highly heterogeneous seems be influenced by genes as well. Some individuals develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), while others not. In study, our aim was analyze the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene (rs53576 rs2254298), RAR-related orphan A (RORA) (rs8042149) cannabinoid 1...
