Children's vulnerability reflected in genes: Some children more sensitive to their environments
Some children are more sensitive to their environments, for better and for worse.

The study found that children from high-risk backgrounds who carried a common gene variant were very likely to develop serious problems as adults, but were also more responsive to treatment.<img src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/FSG8EoBsFVc" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>
