Figure 1. Association between exposure to Hurricane Katrina and RGS2 (rs4606) on post-traumatic growth (PTG) (n=205).
The figure displays the relationship between number of Hurricane Katrina exposures (x-axis) and levels of post-traumatic growth (y-axis). The findings for RGS2 withstood correction for multiple testing (p=0.0044). In our sample, 82 individuals were homozygous for the RGS2 rs4606 C allele (CC genotype), 104 were heterozygotes (GC genotype), and 19 were homozygous for the G allele (GG genotype).
