| Popis: | Depression is a highly heritable and extremely common psychiatric disorder, however its exact cause is not fully understood. Studying the interaction between genetics and environment in children may help scientists to better understand how the disorder develops and what role genetics play in the onset of depression. Polygenic risk scores for 11,878 children ages 10-12 will be calculated using GWAS data. These risk scores will then be compared with the number of stressful life events that the children had experienced in order to determine if there is evidence for a multiplicative gene x environment main effect. |
