Public interest in predictive genetic testing, including direct-to-consumer testing, for susceptibility to major depression: preliminary findings.

European journal of human genetics : EJHG - 1 Jan 2010

Wilde Alex, Meiser Bettina, Mitchell Philip B, Schofield Peter R

Abstract excerpt

The past decade has seen rapid advances in the identification of associations between candidate genes and a range of common multifactorial disorders. This paper evaluates public attitudes towards the complexity of genetic risk prediction in psychiatry involving susceptibility genes, uncertain penetrance and gene-environment interactions on which successful molecular-based mental health interventions will depend....
