A twin study of DSM‐III‐R anxiety disorders
Abstract
The prevalence of anxiety disorders was studied in a sample of 20 monozygotic (MZ) and 29 dizygotic (DZ) co‐twins of anxiety disorder probands. A comparison group of co‐twins of 12 MZ and 20 DZ twin probands with other non‐psychotic mental disorders was also studied. All subjects were personally interviewed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐III‐R Axis I (SCID‐I). Panic disorder was significantly more prevalent in co‐twins of panic probands. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) was more prevalent in co‐twins of GAD probands with a history of mood disorder (NS). Post‐traumatic stress disorder was significantly more prevalent in co‐twins of anxiety probands and was more prevalent in MZ than in DZ co‐twins. The prevalences of social and simple phobia were equal in co‐twins of anxiety and comparison probands. For both panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder the MZ:DZ concordance ratio was more than 2:1. The results support the hypothesis of a genetic contribution in the etiology of panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and post‐traumatic stress disorder. The hypothesis that simple and social phobia are mainly caused by environmental experiences was also supported.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
