Gene-environment interplay Sample Clauses

Gene-environment interplay. In the following section, I provide an overview of gene-environment interplay, which includes gene-environment interaction (GxE) and gene-environment correlation (rGE) (Xxxx, 2011; Xxxxxx, 2006). GxE refers to a situation in which aetiological influences on a trait that are moderated by contextual factors, while rGE refers to the influence of an individual's genotype on their exposure to environmental factors. These concepts are essential for understanding how socioeconomic factors interact with genetic (and environmental) influences to impact mental health outcomes. Additionally, I discuss theoretical frameworks that shed light on the nature of GxE, such as the diathesis-stress model, differential susceptibility model, bioecological (social compensation) model, and social control/push model.
