Identification of dynamic glucocorticoid-induced methylation changes at the FKBP5 locus

Abstract Background Epigenetic mechanisms may play a major role in the biological embedding of early-life stress (ELS). One proposed mechanism is that glucocorticoid (GC) release following ELS exposure induces long-lasting alterations in DNA methylation (DNAm) of important regulatory genes of the st...
