This study could potentially lead to more proactive treatments for anxiety disorders
The genome-wide association study was the"largest ever study" looking into genes that could be associated with anxiety, according to Daniel Levey, a postdoctorate associate at the Yale School of Medicine and one of the authors of the study.The study identified six genetic variants linked to anxiety. Some of the variants associated with anxiety had previously been implicated as risk factors for bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and schizophrenia.
Similar large-scale studies like this have been hamstrung by too many participants coming from a similar background, oftentimes only those with European ancestry.In this most recent study, the researchers found that veterans of European descent had five genes that could be associated with anxiety.One of the most useful findings was an association between anxiety and a gene named MAD1L1.
