The Business Guardian
|June 15, 2025
A study has uncovered genes that govern how sensitive one is about their environment, levels of which can influence symptoms they present of mental disorders.
An international team of researchers, led by those at King's College London, UK, analyzed nearly 10,900 pairs of identical twins from 11 studies and examined how changes in sensitivity to environment can influence one's chances of presenting symptoms of ADHD, autism, anxiety and depression, psychosis and neuroticism.
Findings, published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, show that genes related to molecules important for neurodevelopment, immune function and the central nervous system were related with autistic traits.
Genes that influence how one reacts to stress were found to be linked with depressive symptoms.
