Role of LncRNA in Trauma Susceptibility and Resilience to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): A Pilot Study in the African American Population by Sadhukhan T, Rai N, Misiak-Christian M, Hipolito MMS, Sadhukhan S, Shelby M, Mejía Mondragón CI, Idowu A, Gondringer A, Kalejaiye A, Li J, Islam MN, Ressom HW, Nwulia EA

“…Evidence suggests that the peripheral olfactory system, which is accessible in the nose, regulates the structure and function of olfactory regions relevant to stress biology. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) control transcriptional regulation via epigenetic mechanisms, and since these elements are sensitive to environmental inputs, they may play a crucial role in diseases like PTSD, which are highly dependent on environmental experiences. …”
