Questions and Answers

What does the gene-environment interaction approach seek to do?

  • Identify environmental factors that influence behavior
  • Combine information on genetic and environmental factors to understand behavior and vulnerability/resilience to disorders (correct)
  • Identify genetic factors that influence behavior
  • Understand the biological mechanisms involved in gene-environment interactions

    • What is the goal of genetic epidemiology?

  • Identifying gene-environment interactions
  • Understanding the biological mechanisms involved in gene-environment interactions
  • Increasing confidence in the interaction through control factors (correct)
  • Accounting for a non-trivial proportion of the disorder in the human population

    • What are the limitations of genetic epidemiology?

  • Limited understanding of genetic factors that influence behavior
  • Limited understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in gene-environment interactions (correct)
