Overview statistical analyses.

Analysis Variables Statistical model Cohort/data set
1. Discovery DMPs Outcome: DNA methylation levels (T0, T1, T2) Mixed model PRISMO
Predictor: PTSD score (T0, T1, T2)
2. Identification DMRs and ​PRS as determinants Outcome: PTSD score (T0, T1, T2) Mixed model PRISMO
Predictor:
a. DMR methylation levels (T0, T1, T2)
b. PRS
3. Replication DMRs Outcome: PTSD score (T0, T1, T2) Mixed model MRS
Predictor: DMR methylation levels (T0, T1, T2)
4. Correlations DMRs, PRS, and PTSD symptoms a. DMR change score (T0-T1
or T1-T2) x PTSD score
(T0 to T5)
Pearson’s correlation PRISMO
b. DMR change score x PRS
c. PRS x PTSD score (T0 to T5)
5. Association DMRs and ​PRS with PTSD trajectories Outcome: PTSD trajectory Multinomial logistic regression PRISMO (imputed)
Predictor:
a. DMR change score
b. PRS
6. Prediction model delayed onset PTSD Outcome: delayed PTSD trajectory (vs. resilient trajectory) Stepwise backward logistic regression model PRISMO (imputed)
Predictors: DMR change score, variables in Table 1

Note: DMP ​= ​differentially methylation position; PTSD ​= ​posttraumatic stress disorder; PRS ​= ​polygenic risk score.
