The relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety and affective disorders: results from the Johns Hopkins OCD Family StudyG Nestadt
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, School of Medicine, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Psychol Med 31:481-7. 2001..CONCLUSION: GAD and agoraphobia share a common familial aetiology with OCD. The other anxiety and affective disorders, when comorbid with OCD, may emerge as a consequence of the OCD or as a more complex syndrome...
Normal personality traits and comorbidity among phobic, panic and major depressive disordersO J Bienvenu
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University JHU, Baltimore, MD 21287, USA
Psychiatry Res 102:73-85. 2001..Therefore, neuroticism and introversion are associated with increased comorbidity due to relationships in common with the prevalence of the different disorders. In contrast, extraversion is associated with increased comorbidity per se...
Gender differences in genetic linkage and association on 11p15 in obsessive-compulsive disorder familiesY Wang
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21287, USA
Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet 150:33-40. 2009..No SNP showed significant association with the OCD phenotype only in the families with a female proband. The results suggest a possible gender effect in the etiology of OCD...
