31st APS Annual Convention

Integrating Molecular Genetic and Family Designs to Test Psychological Theories

Sunday, May 26, 2019 · Washington, DC

Oral · Biological/Neuroscience

We are witnessing a revolution in the reliable identification of genomic correlates of human individual differences. We present on the discovery of thousands of genomic loci associated with education and substance use. We synthesize these with similar results on other behavioral and psychiatric conditions to test etiological theories of behavior.
