# Genetic Variations and Behavioral Phenotype ## Phenotype and Behavioral Phenotype * **Genotype:** molecule that contains the instructions to synthesize proteins. * **Phenotype:** is the manifestation of the genotype, detectable (by the interaction between the genotype and the environment), although not always observable. * **Phenotype:** also considers inheritable characteristics external to the organism (nido). * **Behavioral Phenotype:** set of behavioral traits associated with a specific psychiatric syndrome, such as autism and ADHD, disorders sensitive to genetic influence. * **Endophenotype:** intermediate point between behavioral phenotype and genotype → "Risk"
