Child Development, Molecular Genetics, and What To Do with Genes Once They Are Found.
Plomin, Robert; Rutter, Michael
Child Development, v69 n4 p1223-42 Aug 1998
Outlines what developmentalists can do with genes associated with behavioral dimensions and disorders once they are found. Suggests that genes can be used to answer questions about developmental continuities, psychopathological patterns such as heterogeneity and comoribidty, and environmental-risk mechanisms informed by studies of gene/environment interaction and gene/environment correlation.
