Borderline personality traits and adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms: a genetic analysis of comorbidityMarijn A Distel
Department of Biological Psychology, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet 156:817-25. 2011..The genetic and environmental correlations between BPT and ADHD symptoms were 0.72 and 0.51, respectively. The shared etiology between BPT and ADHD symptoms is thus a likely cause for the comorbidity of the two disorders...

Life events and borderline personality features: the influence of gene-environment interaction and gene-environment correlationM A Distel
Department of Biological Psychology, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Psychol Med 41:849-60. 2011..As the presence of genotype-environment correlation (rGE) can lead to spurious findings of genotype-environment interaction (G × E), we also test whether BPD features increase the likelihood of exposure to life events...

Heritability of borderline personality disorder features is similar across three countriesM A Distel
Department of Biological Psychology, VU University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Psychol Med 38:1219-29. 2008..Though family history studies of borderline personality disorder indicate genetic influences, there have been very few twin studies and the degree of genetic influence on borderline personality disorder remains unclear...
Chromosome 9: linkage for borderline personality disorder featuresMarijn A Distel
Department of Biological Psychology, VU University Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Psychiatr Genet 18:302-7. 2008..To date, no genome-wide linkage study has been conducted to identify the genomic region(s) containing the quantitative trait loci that influence the manifestation of BPD features...
Personality, health and lifestyle in a questionnaire family study: a comparison between highly cooperative and less cooperative familiesMarijn A Distel
Department of Biological Psychology, VU University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Twin Res Hum Genet 10:348-53. 2007..001). However, the absolute difference in mean scores is very small, less than 1 point for a scale ranging from 0 to 72. In conclusion, survey data on personality, health and lifestyle are relatively unbiased with respect to nonresponse...
Heritability of self-reported phobic fearMarijn A Distel
Department of Biological Psychology, VU University, Van der Boechorststraat 1, Amsterdam, 1081 BT, The Netherlands
Behav Genet 38:24-33. 2008..For social fear in participants aged 26-65 only additive genetic effects were detected. Broad-sense heritability estimates ranged from 36 to 51% and were similar for men and women...

Department of Biological Psychology, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet 156:352-62. 2011..2 for hyperactivity was also found. Heritability of inattention, hyperactivity and total ADHD symptoms is lower in adults than in children. Chromosomes 18q and 2p are likely to harbor genes that influence several aspects of adult ADHD...

Department of Biological Psychology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
PLoS ONE 5:e10621. 2010..In contrast to the large number of studies in children, there is little information on the contribution of genetic factors to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults...
