Heritability of anxiety sensitivity: a twin study.

The American journal of psychiatry - 1 Feb 1999

Stein M B, Jang K L, Livesley W J

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: In attempting to explain the familial predisposition to panic disorder, most studies have focused on the heritability of physiologic characteristics (e.g., CO2 sensitivity). A heretofore unexplored possibility is that a psychological characteristic that predisposes to panic-anxiety sensitivity-might be inherited. In this study, the authors examined the heritability of anxiety sensitivity through use of...
