TL;DR
This study replicates a recent report of a genotype-environment interaction that predicts individual variation in risk for antisocial behavior in boys and finds that low monoamine oxidase A activity increased risk for conduct disorder only in the presence of an adverse childhood environment.

It is apparent that there is not one single causative factor; thus it is not likely that one single modality will suffice to treat CD and future steps will involve the restructuring of diagnostic criteria to capture adequate subtypes and indicators, clarification of the neurological underpinnings of the disorder, and refinement in the models available to explain the varied pathways to DBD.
American Journal of PsychiatryModels for the joint effect of genotype and environment on liability to psychiatric illness
546 Citations1986Kenneth S. Kendler, Lindon J. Eaves
The authors attempt to demonstrate that genes and the environment can interact in several interesting and potentially subtle ways, that these interactions can be expressed in simple models from which clear empirical predictions can be generated, and that elucidation of the etiology of psychiatric disorders will require the consideration of both genetic and environmental risk factors.

The greater heritability for depression in pubertal girls, its genetic mediation over time, and the increase in genetic variance for life events may be one possible explanation for the emergence of increased depression among puberal girls and its persistence through adolescence.

This overview presents a simple definition of gene-environment interaction and suggests study designs for detecting it, and five biologically plausible models are described for the relations between genotypes and environmental exposures, in terms of their effects on disease risk.

283 Citations1998David M. Fergusson, L. John Horwood
Children exposed to high levels of interparental violence are an at risk population for psychosocial adjustment problems in young adulthood, and much of the elevated risk of these children arises from the social context within which interparentality occurs.
