Gene-environment interplay

Gene-environment interplay, also known as nature-nurture interplay,[1] is a term encompassing multiple ways that genes and environments work together to produce phenotypic traits. Processes classified as examples of gene-environment interplay include gene-environment interaction, gene-environment correlation,[2] epigenetics,[3] and modifications of the heritability of traits by environmental factors.[4] It is often studied with behavioral genetic research designs like twin, family, and adoption studies.[2]
