Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Anxiety sensitivity (AS) has predictive potential for the development of anxiety disorders. We investigated the role that gene-environment (G × E) interactions, focussing on childhood trauma (CT) and selected SLC6A4 variants, play in modulating levels of AS in a South African adolescent population. METHODS: All adolescents (n = 951) completed measures for AS and CT. Six SLC6A4 polymorphisms were...
