Real-life helping behaviours in North America: A genome-wide association approach.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2018

Primes Georg, Fieder Martin

Abstract excerpt

In humans, prosocial behaviour is essential for social functioning. Twin studies suggest this distinct human trait to be partly hardwired. In the last decade research on the genetics of prosocial behaviour focused on neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, such as oxytocin, dopamine, and their respective pathways. Recent trends towards large scale medical studies targeting the genetic basis of complex diseases such...
