Developmental Differences in Early Adolescent Aggression: A Gene × Environment × Intervention Analysis

Early Intervention in Developmental Disabilities

The developmental period of a child has critical importance for learning and it is even more so in case of a disabled child. The earlier the disability is detected, the easier it is to effectively help the child both medically and educationally. The present paper is an attempt to define and describe developmental disability both as a concept and as a practical program of intervention. The main ...

Epigenetic gene regulation: linking early developmental environment to adult disease.

Traditional studies on the combined effects of genetics and the environment on individual variation in disease susceptibility primarily focus on single nucleotide polymorphisms that influence toxicant uptake and metabolism. A growing body of evidence, however, suggests that epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation, such as DNA methylation and chromatin modification, are also influenced by the e...

Meta-analysis of gene-environment interactions in developmental psychopathology.

As studies of measured gene-environment interactions (G x E) in developmental psychopathology gain momentum, methods for systematically and quantitatively summarizing effects across multiple studies are urgently needed. Meta-analyses of G x E findings are critical for evaluating the overall statistical and theoretical significance of any given G x E based on cumulative and systematically combin...
