One of the main controversies with regard to depressive personality disorder (DPD) concerns the co-occurrence with the established DSM-IV personality disorders (PDs). The main aim of this study was to examine to what extent DPD and the DSM-IV PDs share genetic and environmental risk factors, using multivariate twin modeling. The DSM-IV Structured Interview for Personality was applied to 2,794 young adult twins. Paranoid PD from Cluster A, borderline PD from Cluster B, and all three PDs from Cluster C were independently and significantly associated with DPD in multiple regression analysis. The genetic correlations between DPD and the other PDs were strong (.53-.83), while the environmental correlations were moderate (.36-.40). Close to 50% of the total variance in DPD was disorder specific. However, only 5% was due to disorder-specific genetic factors, indicating that a substantial part of the genetic vulnerability to DPD also increases the vulnerability to other PDs.
关于抑郁性人格障碍(DPD)的主要争议之一涉及与既定的 DSM-IV 人格障碍(PD)的同时发生。本研究的主要目的是使用多变量双胞胎模型来研究 DPD 和 DSM-IV PD 在多大程度上共享遗传和环境风险因素。DSM-IV 人格结构访谈应用于 2794 名年轻成年双胞胎。在多元回归分析中,从 A 群分离出的偏执型 PD、从 B 群分离出的边缘型 PD 以及从 C 群分离出的所有三种 PD 均与 DPD 独立且显著相关。DPD 与其他 PD 之间的遗传相关性很强(.53-.83),而环境相关性则适中(.36-.40)。DPD 的总方差中接近 50%是特定于障碍的。然而,只有 5%是由于特定于障碍的遗传因素造成的,这表明对 DPD 的遗传易感性的很大一部分也增加了对其他 PD 的易感性。
