Vulnerability genes or plasticity genes?

Molecular psychiatry - 1 Aug 2009

Belsky J, Jonassaint C, Pluess M, Stanton M, Brummett B, Williams R

Abstract excerpt

The classic diathesis-stress framework, which views some individuals as particularly vulnerable to adversity, informs virtually all psychiatric research on behavior-gene-environment (G x E) interaction. An alternative framework of 'differential susceptibility' is proposed, one which regards those most susceptible to adversity because of their genetic make up as simultaneously most likely to benefit from...
