A report elucidates the widely recognized, but poorly understood, concept of gene-
environment interaction, finding a molecular mechanism in the case of post-traumatic stress
disorder: demethylation of a glucocorticoid response element in the stress response
regulator FKBP5 that depends on both the risk allele and childhood trauma.
