“…Clinical studies have found that adult women develop obsessive-compulsive symptoms earlier than adult men (see Fontenelle et al, 2002), and these findings have been supported by epidemiological studies. Specifically, a study by Nestadt et al (1998) found that all incident cases among men occurred in subjects who were between 30 and 44 years of age, whereas the incident cases among women were more frequent in young adults, with a second higher peak in the group of 65 years and older.…”

“…The same group sequenced the LOD score peak region identified in this genome scan and found no evidence for a functional mutation in the SLC1A1 gene. 41 In sum, the early-onset phenotype is characterized by a male preponderance 24,42 , a higher frequency of compulsions not preceded by obsessions, 19,21 higher comorbidity with tics and TS 20,28 and worse response to monotherapy treatment with clomipramine or SRI. 21,35 Furthermore, the early-onset phenotype has been associated with increased familial loading for OCD.…”
