Very little is known about how different sets of risk factors interact to influence risk for psychiatric disorder.
To replicate a recent report of a genotype-environment interaction that predicts risk for antisocial behavior in boys.
Characterizing risk for conduct disorder in boys in association with monoamine oxidase A genotype and exposure to familial adversity, defined by interparental violence, parental neglect, and inconsistent discipline.
A community-based sample of twin boys.
Five hundred fourteen male twins aged 8 to 17 years.
Conduct disorder.
There was a main effect of adversity but not of monoamine oxidase A on risk for conduct disorder. Low monoamine oxidase A activity increased risk for conduct disorder only in the presence of an adverse childhood environment. Neither a passive nor an evocative genotype-environment correlation accounted for the interaction.
This study replicates a recent report of a genotype-environment interaction that predicts individual variation in risk for antisocial behavior in boys.
对于不同风险因素组合如何相互作用以影响精神障碍风险,我们知之甚少。
复制最近一项关于基因 - 环境相互作用的报告,该相互作用可预测男孩反社会行为的风险。
结合单胺氧化酶A基因型以及由父母间暴力、父母忽视和不一致的管教所定义的家庭逆境,对男孩品行障碍风险进行特征描述。
基于社区的双胞胎男孩样本。
514名年龄在8至17岁的男性双胞胎。
品行障碍。
逆境对品行障碍风险有主效应,而单胺氧化酶A则没有。仅在童年不良环境存在时,低单胺氧化酶A活性才会增加品行障碍风险。被动或唤起性基因 - 环境相关性均不能解释这种相互作用。
本研究复制了最近一项关于基因 - 环境相互作用的报告,该相互作用可预测男孩反社会行为风险的个体差异。
