Figure Lengend Snippet: Overview of the data and methods used in this study. a , b , c , d depict the primary analyses, in which a latent variable model was used to determine the association between peripheral TPH2 and SLC6A4 methylation and brain levels of 5-HTT and 5-HT 4 . e , f , g describe the sensitivity analyses evaluating the association between SLC6A4 / TPH2 methylation and measures of environmental stress, depressive and anxiety symptoms. h and i show sensitivity analyses used to evaluate potential influence of blood cell proportions in the A-G analyses. Abbreviations: 5-HT 4 : serotonin 4 receptor; 5-HTT: serotonin transporter; CpG: CpG site; TSS: transcription start site; SLE: stressful life events; PBI: parental bonding inventory; BDI: Beck’s depressive index; GAD10: generalized anxiety disorder 10-item; CATS: childhood abuse trauma scale; HAMD6: Hamilton depressive rating scale 6; PSS: perceived stress scale; CpG LV : latent variable including all CpG methylation values
