centrally to the world of genetics and/or (for the younger generation of psychologists with interest in this area) to obtain focused training in genetics, ideally through a postdoctoral training experience. With ~25,000 genes in the human genome, thousands of genetic association papers published, and GWAS papers being turned out every day, I find it impossible to believe that the handful of usual suspects are the only genes of interest for clinical outcomes. As large-scale gene-finding studies continue to report associations with new and novel genes of interest, these genes too deserve further study by psychologists to delineate how associated risk may be modified by environmental factors.
