Genetic Markers of Longitudinal Course of PTSD Symptoms Following Traumatic Events
Clinical Trial Details
Weill Cornell Medical College researchers seek participants who experienced a traumatic event for a one year post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) study. Participants will be assessed for PTSD and related symptomatology and followed up for 1 year. Participants will also contribute saliva sample for genetic biomarkers analysis.
