Findings from the Human Genome Project and from Genome-Wide Association (GWA) studies indicate that many diseases and traits manifest a more complex genomic pattern than previously assumed. These findings, and advances in high-throughput sequencing, suggest that there are many sources of influence-genetic, epigenetic, and environmental. This volume investigates the role of the interactions of genes and environment (G x E) in diseases and traits (referred to by the contributors as complex phenotypes) including depression, diabetes, obesity, and substance use.

Depuis le lancement du programme de séquençage du génome humain, le développement continu des technologies et des langages génétiques a fait émerger une riche littérature au croisement de la sociologie, de l’anthropologie et de la philosophie s’interrogeant sur la place grandissante acquise par le gène dans nos sociétés. Si la notion de génétisation s’y est imposée comme schème interprétatif critique des processus en jeu, celle-ci se voit aujourd’hui en partie dépassée consécutivement au développement de nouvelles modalités de diffusion des technologies génétiques. L’apparition d’une offre d’autotests génétiques par le biais d’Internet laisse en effet apparaître une autonomisation de la dynamique de génétisation au sein de la société, soit l’émergence d’une auto-génétisation à l’heure où la génomique en vient à se pratiquer en version Do-It-Yourself. Sur la base d’une enquête par observations ethnographiques de divers espaces numériques et d’entretiens, il ressort que des publics grandissants se voient désormais acquis à l’intérêt qu’il y aurait à s’orienter vers les gènes pour pouvoir se constituer un « capital santé » ou un « capital généalogique ». Au cœur de cette dynamique où le génétique en vient à englober des domaines en expansion, touchant tout autant à la santé qu’à la construction de l’identité, la génétisation n’apparaît plus seulement comme une opération de nature intellectuelle conduisant à valoriser le rôle des gènes face aux facteurs dits d’environnement, mais aussi et surtout comme une entreprise pratique au cours de laquelle l’individu en vient à se tourner vers ses gènes pour faire face à un environnement devenu incertain.

In his new preface E. O. Wilson reflects on how he came to write this book: how The Insect Societies led him to write Sociobiology, and how the political and religious uproar that engulfed that book persuaded him to write another book that would better explain the relevance of biology to the understanding of human behavior.

Intriguing new findings on how genes and environments work together through different stages of life take the spotlight in this significant collection. Studies from infancy to late adulthood show both forces as shaping individuals' relationships within family and non-family contexts, and examine how these relationships, in turn, continue to shape the individual. Transitional periods, in which individuals become more autonomous and relationships and personal identities become more complicated, receive special emphasis. In addition, chapters shed light on the extent to which the quantity and quality of genetic and environmental influence may shift across and even within life stages.   Included in the coverage:   Gene-environment interplay in parenting young children. The sibling relationship as a source of shared environment. Gene-environment transactions in childhood and adolescent problematic peer relationships. Toward a developmentally sensitive and genetically informed perspective on popularity. Spouse, parent, and co-worker: roles and relationships in adulthood. The family system as a unit of clinical care: the role of genetic systems.   Behavioral geneticists, clinical psychologists, and family therapists will find in Gene-Environment Interplay in Interpersonal Relationships across the Lifespan a window into current thinking on the subject, new perspectives for understanding clients and cases, and ideas for further study.
