Abstract | The presented commentary will tackle the genetics behind suicidal behavior The phenotype is defined followed by a brief discussion of two employable genetic methods, namely, positional cloning and the more classical approach involving candidate genes. Furthermore we will explain the polygenetic, multifactorial model of suicidal genetics and address the interaction of genes and the environment Further along we list possible ways in which suicidal behavior could have been selected for genetically in populations and identify those specific populations in which it may have appeared. Finally, we address future ethical implications in this quickly blossoming feld of research. | |
