Abstract

The modern understanding of genetic influences, of environmental effects, of mental disorder, and of heritabilities is noted. The practical utility of finding susceptibility genes with a very small effect is questioned. The empirical findings and implications of developmental perturbations, epigenetics, gene-environment correlations and interactions are then discussed. It is noted that the genes involved in gene-environment interactions may be concerned with susceptibility to all environments and not just adverse ones.
