Among the six proteins significant at FDR < 0.1 in the PTSD–MCI versus healthy control analysis shown in Table 2, BCAN and NCAN showed monotonically decreasing protein expression patterns, whereas for PTSD only versus PTSD–MCI, CTSS, MSR1, MDGA1, and CPA2 showed monotonically increasing protein expression patterns (Supplementary Fig. 2). The gene discussed is MDGA1; the disease is post-traumatic stress disorder.
