Abstract:

Dr. Kenneth Schaffner gave a brief introduction to the symposium topics. He began with a history of the thinking on gene-environment interactions and described the ensuing controversies. He cited the lack of a consensus theory of the environment and then described some methodological and technological advances in the studies of gene-environment interactions.
