The growth of genome-wide and Candidate Gene Association Studies have elevated genetic causality in medicine and behavioral science. This chapter explores the concept of causality as it has been applied in genetic explanations and distinguishes the varieties of methods used to establish genetic causation. The essay ends with a cautionary note on applying genetic causation to complex human behaviors and neurocognitive abnormalities.
