Excerpt

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) results in strong negative changes to mood and behavior after exposure to violent and/or traumatic events. However, diagnosing PTSD is often hindered by the inaccuracy and stigma of selfreporting of symptoms, highlighting the need for a biomolecular test for improving PTSD diagnosis1.• Dried Blood Spots (DBS) hold genetic information in the form of mRNA that may be valuable source material for biomarker analysis when analyzed for differential gene expression.• We attempt to extracting total RNA …
