Candidate gene-environment interactions.
One of the limitations of interdisciplinarity is the misunderstanding regarding specific words and concepts from one discipline to the other ( ). One way to circumvent this aspect is to incorporate the vocabulary of other disciplines, when it corresponds to the appropriate 1 concept. Gene environment interaction is a popular topic, for which there has been to date, more reviews than established...
متن کاملCandidate gene-environment interactions in breast cancer
Gene-environment interactions have the potential to shed light on biological processes leading to disease, identify individuals for whom risk factors are most relevant, and improve the accuracy of epidemiological risk models. We review the progress that has been made in investigating gene-environment interactions in the field of breast cancer. Although several large-scale analyses have been car...

doi: 10.1289/ehp.10217 In their otherwise informative and concise review of the current state of evidence concerning risk factors for acute childhood leukemia, Belson et al. (2007) did not correctly address nonionizing radiation and, in particular, power frequency magnetic fields as a possible risk factor for childhood leukemia. This failure may be due to a widespread misconception about the ev...
متن کاملXIII Gene–Environment Interactions
Most genetic-epidemiological approaches used in the study of the aetiology of individual differences in psychiatric disease in humans assume that the effects of genes and environment are additive. That is, it is assumed that the effect of an environmental risk factor does not depend on the genotype of the individual, or, stated differently, that the expression of the genotype does not depend on...
متن کاملCandidate gene–environment interactions and their relationships with timing of breeding in a wild bird population
Monitoring and predicting evolutionary changes underlying current environmental modifications are complex challenges. Recent approaches to achieve these objectives include assessing the genetic variation and effects of candidate genes on traits indicating adaptive potential. In birds, for example, short tandem repeat polymorphism at four candidate genes (CLOCK, NPAS2, ADCYAP1, and CREB1) has be...
