Genotype-environment interaction in the Finnish adoptive family study — Interplay between genes and environment?
Conference paper
Abstract
Nature and nurture are not separate. Instead of studying them apart from each other, it is important to investigate the interplay between genes and environment and how they influence one another. To an important degree, genetic effects on behavior come about because they either influence the extent to which the individual is likely to be exposed to individual differences in environmental risk or they affect how susceptible the individual is to environmental adversities [17]. The disorders of greatest medical, research, and policy concern today, particularly in psychiatry, are likely to be complex. Such disorders may have not a single cause but a causal chain, or multiple such chains. These chains may involve genetic, biological, environmental and social risk factors. The effect of a single risk factor can only be fully understood in the context of all the others [7].
