Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent, serious public health concern, particularly in the military. The identification of genetic risk factors for PTSD may provide important insights into the biological basis of vulnerability and comorbidity. To discover genetic loci associated with lifetime PTSD risk in two cohorts from the Army Study To Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers (Army STARRS). Two coordinated genomewide association studies of mental health in the US military: New Soldier Study (NSS, N=3167 cases and 4607 trauma-exposed controls) and Pre/Post Deployment Study (PPDS, N=947 cases and 4969 trauma-exposed controls). The primary analysis compared lifetime DSM-IV PTSD cases to trauma-exposed controls without lifetime PTSD. Association analyses were conducted for PTSD using logistic regression models within each of 3 ancestral groups (European, African, Latino) by study and then meta-analyzed. Heritability and genetic correlation and pleiotropy with other psychiatric and immune-related disorders were estimated. We observed a genomewide significant locus in ANKRD55 on chromosome 5 (rs159572; odds ratio [OR] = 1.62, p-value =2.43×10−8; adjusted for cumulative trauma exposure [AOR] = 1.68, p-value = 1.18×10−8) in the African American samples from NSS. We also observed a genomewide significant locus in or near ZNF626 on chromosome 19 (rs11085374; OR = 0.77, p-value = 4.59 ×10−8) in the European American samples from NSS. We did not find similar results for either SNP in the corresponding ancestry group from the PPDS sample, or in other ancestral groups or trans-ancestral meta-analyses. SNP-based heritability was non-significant, and no significant genetic correlations were observed between PTSD and six mental disorders and nine immune-related disorders. Significant evidence of pleiotropy was observed between PTSD and rheumatoid arthritis and, to a lesser extent, psoriasis. In the largest GWAS of PTSD to date, involving a US military sample, we found limited evidence of association for specific loci. Further efforts are needed to replicate the genomewide significant association with ANKRD55 – associated in prior research with several autoimmune and inflammatory disorders – and to clarify the nature of the genetic overlap observed between PTSD and rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.
