Genetic and Environmental Influences on Child Externalizing Disorders

“Genetic and Environmental Influences on Child Externalizing Disorders”

Although genetic and environmental influences on complex phenotypes are widely accepted, developmental perspectives on child psychopathology have yet to be fully integrated into these models. I will present evidence on molecular genetic and environmental influences on child behavior disorders and the family context. These studies will collectively constitute a diverse range of methodological approaches including epidemiological samples, prospective longitudinal designs, and analogue paradigms. Finally, results will be synthesized within a developmental psychopathology framework with an explicit emphasis on different forms of gene-environment interplay including gene-environment correlations, interactions, and epigenetic processes.
