“…The transcultural studies on PDs document its worldwide global occurrence and suggest a degree of psychological unity of PDs. This can be interpreted in terms of the evolutionary perspective and/or in terms of similarity between the neurobiological/ neurogenetic mechanisms of PDs among different nations (Figueredo et al, 2006;Gawda et al, 2016;Molina et al, 2009).…”

“…Personality traits reflect differences in effectiveness of adjustment to complex social interactions (Figueredo, Hammond, & McKiernan, 2006). Personality disorders and the dysfunctional emotions incorporated in them play adaptive roles; personality disorder traits may be conceptualized as adaptive strategies to deal with painful situations (Molina et al, 2009).…”

This article reviews cross-cultural research on personality disorders. The concept of personality disorders is discussed in terms of whether they are universal phenomena or specific to Western society. Then, research on the prevalence of personality disorders in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia is reviewed. The overall rates of the prevalence of personality disorders range from 2.40% to 20.00%. The data document that the prevalence of borderline and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders is the highest, especially in highincome countries. The cross-cultural differences in the prevalence of the specified personality disorders are explained by its influencing factors such as race, ethnicity, social requirements, and the dimension of individualism-collectivism. The occurrence of personality disorders across cultures suggests some degree of psychological unity, and in turn, similarities in the neurobiological mechanisms of personality disorders.

“…Emotional impairments are present in every PD; however, they manifest themselves differently. For instance, in borderline PD, emotional instability may be an adaptive strategy to increase quick responses in dangerous situations (Molina et al., 2009). Similarly, other PDs can be conceptualized as a stable strategy adopted to deal with painful situations (Molina et al., 2009).…”

The aim of the present study is to establish the prevalence of personality disorders (PDs) in a healthy (nonclinical) Polish population, to examine sex difference in PDs, and to show the structure of clusters which PDs form with regard to men and women. A large sample of 1460 individuals of age between 18 and 65 years was examined. The Structured Clinical Interview for Axis II was used to obtain information on PDs, the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview to obtain information on other disorders, and an interview to record demographic data. Results show that approximately 9% of the sample had at least one PD (the overall rate is 8.9%) and rates on sex differences in PDs are similar to other European and North American countries. The most prevalent PDs are obsessive-compulsive (9.6%), narcissistic (7%), and borderline (7%). Results show the considerable comorbidity of PDs which means that about 9% of the adult population have at least one PD and in fact they display features of many specific PDs. A factor analysis revealed that 12 PDs form different clusters in men and women.

“…Different ethnicities may have different genetic backgrounds, which influence the association between polymorphism and cancer susceptibility. Inconsistency between the two ethnicities can be explained by the possibility that different ethnic groups live with multiple life styles and environmental factors and thus yield diverse geneenvironment interactions (Molina et al, 2009;Dick, 2011;Carpenter et al, 2013). And different populations carry different genotype and/or allele frequencies of this locus polymorphism: the rs2233679 C allele among controls between Asian (0.445) and Caucasian (0.662) is highly significantly different, and it may lead to various degrees of cancer susceptibility (Gao et al, 2010;De et al, 2012;Euhus et al, 2013).…”

PIN1 is one member of the parvulin PPIase family. By controlling Pro-directed phosphorylation, PIN1 plays an important role in cell transformation and oncogenesis. There are many polymorphisms in the PIN1 gene, including rs2233678 and rs2233679 affecting the PIN1 promoter. Recently, a number of case-control studies were conducted to investigate the association between PIN1 gene rs2233678 and rs2233679 polymorphism and cancer risk. However, published data are still conflicting. In this paper, we summarized data for 5,427 cancer cases and 5,469 controls from 9 studies and attempted to assess the susceptibility of PIN1 gene polymorphism to cancers by a synthetic meta-analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to assess the relationship. All analyses were performed using Stata software. Our results suggested that rs2233678 represented a protective factor in overall analysis (
