Result Summary |
IL1B rs1143633 and rs16944 SNPs are negatively associated with PTSD which allows us to consider them as protective variants for PTSD. IL1B rs1143633 C and rs16944 A minor allele frequencies and carriage rates are significantly lower in the PTSD patients as compared to the controls. The above-mentioned alleles can be protective against PTSD, and IL1B gene can be involved in the pathogenesis of this disorder. |
