    Lee M Butcher
    Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre, Institute of Psychiatry, London, UK
    Hum Mol Genet 14:1315-25. 2005
    ..Although each SNP accounts for a small amount of variance, their effects are additive and they can be combined in a 'SNP set' that can be used as a genetic risk index for MMI in behavioral genomic analyses...
