Genome-wide genetic overlap between fear-based disorders and generalised anxiety disorder

2026-02-09

Abstract excerpt

Twin studies reveal high genetic overlap between anxiety disorders and depression, contributing to the internalising spectrum. Some genetic specificity for fear-based anxiety disorders (fear), distinct from general anxiety and depression (distress), has also emerged. Limited datasets with detailed phenotyping across anxiety disorders have restricted most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to “any anxiety diagn...
