This review focuses on the latter model, where a synergistic relationship between environmental risk factors and genetic factors increases disease risk (Fig. 1). Herein, we broadly review G × E in the context of human health with a focus on how particular genetic and environmental factors synergistically increase disease risk.

Dec 19, 2023 · There are many thousands of environmental factors which can lead to this particular change and we do not fully understand how specific aspects of the environment cause these changes. While we understand in some detail the mechanisms for gene activation in development and cell differentiation, the impact of our environment on our genetic makeup is a more recent exploration.
The first is the diathesis-stress model, which suggests that genetic factors may predict adverse behavioral outcomes for people who experience stressful environments. 44 In this conceptualization, people with genetic susceptibility must experience riskier environments for expression of the adverse behavior; genetic susceptibility is a necessary but insufficient condition and must be triggered ...
May 15, 2006 · Environmental factors also vary across individuals and the combined effect of environmental and genetic heterogeneity is etiologic heterogeneity. Etiologic heterogeneity refers to a phenomenon that occurs in the general population when multiple groups of disease cases, such as breast cancer clusters, exhibit similar clinical features, but are in fact the result of differing events or exposures.

Autism - High levels of air pollution increase the risk for autism in children with a genetic variant called MET, which is involved in brain development. 1 This genetic variant did not increase the risk for the 75% of the population exposed to lower levels of air pollution, suggesting that autism may be caused by an interaction of genetic and environmental factors.

Jun 25, 2024 · Motsinger-Reif et al. review the state of research investigating interactions between genetics and environmental factors, highlighting the translation of findings into precision environmental health. They discuss the need for new detection techniques due to the use of large-scale datasets comprising data from multiple sources; outline challenges in the field related to measuring environmental ...
