Discrimination and anxiety: Using multiple polygenic scores to control for genetic liability.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 5 Jan 2021

Cuevas Adolfo G, Mann Frank D, Williams David R, Krueger Robert F

Abstract excerpt

An established body of research indicates that discrimination is associated with increased symptoms of anxiety and negative affect. However, the association cannot be interpreted unambiguously as an exposure effect because a common set of genetic factors can simultaneously contribute to increased liability for symptoms of anxiety, negative affect, and the perception of discrimination. The present study elucidates...
