Genetics of personality disorders: Perspectives from personality and psychopathology research.

Abstract: Although the field is young, studies pertinent to genetic hypotheses have accumulated for several personality disorders. Genetic links to personality disorders from the domains of normal personality and Axis I disorders are reviewed. Evidence of a link to schizophrenia is clearest for schizotypal and less conclusive for paranoid and schizoid personality disorders. A genetic association between borderline personality disorder and affective disorders has not been clearly supported, but there may be a subtype gen… Show more

“…Loranger et al 1982 ;Baron et al 1985 ;Johnson et al 1995 ;Zanarini et al 2004), and the heritability of traits that are highly associated with BPD (e.g. neuroticism, negative emotionality) is well documented (Nigg & Goldsmith, 1994). However, our knowledge of the genetic influence on BPD symptoms and features is rather limited.…”

“…Insofar as PD and insecure attachment are each linked with emotional dysregulation, for instance, both could be mediated by the same heritable differences in temperament or personality traits (Goldsmith & Harman, 1994). It is well established that genes account for 40-60% of the variability in normal personality traits (Plomin, DeFries, McClearn, & McGuffin, 2001), dimensionally defined PD trait scales (Jang, 2005) and to a lesser degree PD diagnoses in recent editions of the DSM (Nigg & Goldsmith, 1994). Although there is far less information on the heritability of attachment styles in adults, Brussoni, Jang, Livesley, and MacBeth (2000) found that genes accounted for 43, 25 and 37% of the variability in fearful, preoccupied and secure attachment assessed with the Relationship Scales Questionnaire (RSQ; Griffin & Bartholomew, 1994).…”

“…Les études sur les traits de personnalité des jumeaux suggèrent que la génétique du tempérament explique de 40 à 60 % du trait observé, donnant à l'environnement une part néanmoins déterminante (Loehlin et al, 1990;Bouchard et al, 1990;Livesley et al, 1993;McGuffin et Thapar, 1993 ;Nigg et Goldsmith, 1994). Le tempérament constitue la personnalité physiologique innée à laquelle on relie des systèmes neurologiques ou hormonaux impliqués dans d'autres psychopathologies (Rothbart et Ahadi, 1994).…”

“…Pour d'autres, il est difficile à distinguer des autres troubles de personnalité et présente des comportements symptomatiques non spécifiques provenant d'etiologies variées (Divac-Jovanovic et Skravic, 1993;Skravic et Divac-Jovanovoic, 1994). La contribution génétique spécifique au trouble limite n'est pas encore clairement démontrée (Nigg et Goldsmith, 1994) probablement parce que la part héritée (l'instabilité affective, l'impulsivité ou le névrotisme marqués) se retrouvent chez d'autres troubles de personnalité. D'autres auteurs insistent sur la contribution de traumatismes psychiques et physiques répétés au cours de l'enfance (particulièrement les abus sexuels) pour un sous-groupe de troubles limites (Herman et al, 1989 ;Paris, 1998 ;Figueroa et SiIk, 1997).…”
