In complex diseases, the phenotypic variability can be explained by genetic variation (G), environmental stimuli (E), and interaction of genetic and environmental factors (G-by-E effects), among which the contribution G-by-E remains largely unknown. In this study, we focus on ten major neuropsychiatric disorders using data for 138,383 United States families with 404,475 unique individuals. We show that, while gene-environment interactions account for only a small portion of the total phenotypic variance for a subset of disorders (depression, adjustment disorder, substance abuse), they explain a rather large portion of the phenotypic variation of the remaining disorders: over 20% for migraine and close to or over 30% for anxiety/phobic disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, recurrent headaches, sleep disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. In this study, we have incorporated-in the same analysis-clinical data, family pedigrees, the spatial distribution of individuals, their socioeconomic and demographic confounders, and a collection of environmental measurements.
在复杂疾病中,表型变异性可以通过遗传变异(G)、环境刺激(E)以及遗传和环境因素的相互作用(G-by-E 效应)来解释,其中 G-by-E 的作用在很大程度上仍然未知。在这项研究中,我们使用来自 138383 个美国家庭的 404475 个个体的数据,重点研究了 10 种主要的神经精神疾病。我们表明,尽管基因-环境相互作用仅占某些疾病(抑郁症、适应障碍、物质滥用)总表型方差的一小部分,但它们解释了其余疾病的相当大一部分表型变异:偏头痛超过 20%,焦虑/恐惧障碍、注意缺陷/多动障碍、复发性头痛、睡眠障碍和创伤后应激障碍接近或超过 30%。在这项研究中,我们在同一分析中纳入了临床数据、家族系谱、个体的空间分布、他们的社会经济和人口统计学混杂因素以及一系列环境测量结果。
