Supplemental Table 7.Functional connectivity between the right amygdala and the whole brain depending on the interaction involving FKBP5 genotype and different childhood adversity measures for the contrast faces > shapes (puncorr=.001, 5 adjacent voxels).

Region / BA / Hemisphere / Cluster Size / MNI coordinates / t-value / p (uncorr.)
x / y / z
Decreasing coupling in TT genotype with increasing CTQ emotional neglect, opposite pattern in CC genotype
Calcarine / L / 10 / -14 / -56 / 6 / 3.37 / <.001a
Increasing coupling in TT genotype with increasing CTQ total, opposite pattern in CC genotype
Cerebellum / R / 52 / 20 / -62 / -42 / 3.91 / <.001b
R / 49 / 8 / -52 / -32 / 3.68 / <.001
Decreasing coupling in TT genotype with increasing CTQ total, opposite pattern in CC genotype
Thalamus / 47 / R / 91 / 2 / -12 / 14 / 3.75 / <.001c
Inferior Occipital Gyrus / 18 / R / 6 / 26 / -94 / -2 / 3.23 / .001
Decreasing coupling in TT genotype with increasing CFA, opposite pattern in CC genotype
