DNA Methylation Patterns of Chronic Explosive Breaching in U.S. Military Warfighters

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic profiles in peripheral blood samples from 59 subjects (in two separate U.S. Military training sessions) were screened using Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChips, session 2 (31 subjects) were also screened post-exposure to a controlled, low-level blast during a 3-day explosive breaching course. Participants had varying numbers of exposures to blast over their military careers (empirically defined as high ≥ 40, and conversely, low < 39 breaching exposures) at baseline. Daily self-reported physiological symptoms were recorded.
