Gene Environment Interactions In Mental Health Trajectories Of Youth
Predicting Young People’S Mental Health Trajectories Through Gene-Environment Interactionsthe Interplay Between Genetic, Epigenetic And Environmental Risks Is Considered The Main Determinant Of Mental Health And Illness In Young People. However, Scientific Evidence For This Is Sparse. The Eu-Funded Youth-Gems Project Will Provide The World’S First Evidence-Supported Knowledge Base Of Functional (Epi)Genomics Of The Developing Post-Natal Human Brain In Direct Relation To Developmental Trajectories. The Project Will Develop A Set Of Evidence-Based Behavioural, Environmental, Biological And Psychological-Informed Instruments For Robust Quantitative Clinical Assessment Of Mental Health For Young People (Aged 12 To 24). Bringing Together A Multidisciplinary Consortium, Youth-Gems Will Also Provide Reliable Predictive Models While Identifying Gene-Environment Interplay, As Well As Actionable Markers Of Trajectories Of Mental (Ill) Health In Young People Through The Use Of Ai.
