Interaktioner mellan gener och miljö. Predicerar kriminalitet, depression och alkoholberoende

• Recently interactions between promoter polymorphisms in the serotonin transporter gene and the Monoamine oxidase-A gene have been found to interact with psychosocial factors to predict outcome such as adolescent criminal behaviour, alcohol consumption and depression. In this paper we review this emerging field of scientific inquiry with particular attention paid to findings made on a population based sample of 119 girls and 81 boys from the county of Västmanland, Sweden.
