Social context in gene-environment interactions: retrospect and prospect.

The journals of gerontology. Series B, Psychological sciences and social sciences - 1 Mar 2005

Shanahan Michael J, Hofer Scott M

Abstract excerpt

While many behavioral scientists believe that gene-environment (GE) interactions play an important and perhaps pervasive role in human development and aging, little attention has been devoted to a fundamental conceptual issue: What is it about social context that could alter gene expression? We draw on existing examples of GE interactions to formulate a typology that identifies a set of generic mechanisms by...
