Epigenetics of anxiety and stress–related disorders is the field studying the relationship between epigenetic modifications of genes and anxiety and stress-related disorders, including mental health disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and more.
hooc−ch 2 −ch 2 −ch(nh 2)−cooh → co 2 + hooc−ch 2 −ch 2 −ch 2 nh 2 In mammals, GAD exists in two isoforms with molecular weights of 67 and 65 kDa (GAD 67 and GAD 65 ), which are encoded by two different genes on different chromosomes ( GAD1 and GAD2 genes, chromosomes 2 and 10 in humans, respectively).
The first published figures on the 14 country surveys completed to date, indicate that, of those disorders assessed, anxiety disorders are the most common in all but 1 country (prevalence in the prior 12-month period of 2.4% to 18.2%) and mood disorders next most common in all but 2 countries (12-month prevalence of 0.8% to 9.6%), while ...
