34 The “Moffitian” Child: Your genome does not make you depressed, but makes you more susceptible to environmental pressures; in this case it makes you more likely to be depressed when you suffer several external setbacks. And that has to be how things like intelligence are determined. A clever person is not born clever, they’re born more able to take in teaching, they’re born capable of learning. Report Role of Genotype in the Cycle of Violence in Maltreated Children Report Influence of Life Stress on Depression: Moderation by a Polymorphism in the 5-HTT Gene

35 Developmental Genetic Epidemiology Polygenic Risk Mature Phenotype Time Developmental Phenotypes Take Home: Early-life developmental phenotypes are critical mediators of genetic risk

36 Conclusion Cannabis smoking may be a risk factor for periodontal disease that is independent of the use of tobacco. In this issue of JAMA, Thomson and colleagues present the findings of a cohort study that have the potential to bring a more evidence-based approach to an understanding of the etiology of destructive periodontal disease.
