BackgroundExternalizing behavior refers to emotional and behavioral problems or disorders characterized by conducts directed outward at an individuals environment. Polygenic scores (PGSs) indexing the individual genetic susceptibility for this behavior still explain a small proportion of the phenotypic variance. To increase this phenotypic variance explained for externalizing behavior we used a multi-PGS approach combining PGSs for several risk factors, mental health conditions and related pheno...
