A study of 74 twin pairs with alcoholic probands from the Maudsley Hospital is reported. Pairwise concordance for alcoholism as categorised by the SADS-L Research Diagnostic Criteria is similar in MZ twins (29%, 8/22) and DZ twins (33%, 13/39). Concordance for all diagnoses other than alcoholism is however significantly greater in MZ twins (48%, 13/27) than DZ twins (21%, 8/39, P less than 0.001). Concordance in MZ and DZ twins for all diagnoses other than alcoholism, including depression, did not coincide with concordance for alcoholism. Data on criminality revealed that 21% (32/148) of the twin sample had non-alcohol, non-traffic offences on record at the UK Home Office. Of the 32 with criminal records, 28 were alcoholic probands and pairwise concordance for criminality was found in only 1 MZ and 2 DZ pairs.
本文报告了一项对来自莫兹利医院的74对有酗酒先证者的双胞胎的研究。根据SADS-L研究诊断标准分类的酒精中毒的成对一致性在同卵双胞胎(29%,8/22)和异卵双胞胎(33%,13/39)中相似。然而,除酒精中毒外的所有诊断的一致性在同卵双胞胎(48%,13/27)中显著高于异卵双胞胎(21%,8/39,P小于0.001)。同卵和异卵双胞胎中除酒精中毒外的所有诊断(包括抑郁症)的一致性与酒精中毒的一致性不一致。犯罪数据显示,21%(32/148)的双胞胎样本在英国内政部有非酒精、非交通犯罪记录。在32名有犯罪记录的人中,28名是酗酒先证者,仅在1对同卵双胞胎和2对异卵双胞胎中发现了犯罪的成对一致性。
