The current study aims to replicate western reports of a familial excess of syndromal and sub-syndromal Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in OCD probands in an Indian population.
148 relatives of OCD probands were compared with 151 normal subjects, based on evaluation on Schedule for Clinical Assessment for Neuropsychiatry (SCAN).
There were no clinically significant differences in the prevalence of psychiatric disorders between the two samples.
In an Indian setting, the absence of familial loading in adult OCD is being reported. Whether subgroups of OCD are familial, or other factors play a role in the pathogenesis of OCD in India needs to be explored.
本研究旨在复制西方报道，即在印度人群中，强迫症患者的综合征和亚综合征强迫症（OCD）家族性过度。
根据精神障碍临床评估量表（SCAN）评估，将 148 名强迫症患者的亲属与 151 名正常受试者进行比较。
两组样本的精神障碍患病率无临床显著差异。
在印度环境中，报告称成年 OCD 不存在家族性负荷。在印度，OCD 的发病机制中是否存在亚组 OCD 家族性，或者其他因素起作用，需要进一步探讨。
