Article Synopsis
- Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is common in adolescents, and early detection could help prevent serious mental health issues later on.
- The study examined the relationship between epigenetic changes (specifically DNA methylation) in blood and the likelihood of developing GAD in 221 healthy adolescents, finding one significant methylation site linked to higher risk.
- The identified CpG site (cg16333992) is related to the STK32B gene, which plays a role in stress responses, suggesting that DNA methylation can indicate potential anxiety risk in young people.
