A particular focus of Domschke's research is the prediction and therapy of anxiety disorders , especially the interrelationships between genes and the environment ( epigenetics ). While researching epigenetic mechanisms in anxiety disorders, she found that reduced methylation of the monoamine oxidase- A gene increases the risk of developing panic disorder . In addition, she was able to prove that successful psychotherapy normalizes the DNA methylation pattern again.
