Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Anxiety and Depressive Disorders in Offspring of Parents With Anxiety Disorders

2014, Journal of Anxiety DisordersCitation Excerpt :A possible pathway is through genetic transmission. Data from family studies have shown that first-degree relatives of patients with SAD manifest higher rates of SAD than relatives of normal control participants (Fyer, Mannuzza, Chapman, Liebowitz, & Klein, 1993; Reich & Yates, 1988). More recently, a study reported a significant association between SAD in probands and their relatives in contrast with a non-significant association between SAD in probands and panic disorder in relatives (Merikangas, Lieb, Wittchen, & Avenevoli, 2003), suggesting that factors leading to SAD are specific and differ from those linked to panic disorder.
Social Anxiety in Children and Adolescents: Biological, Developmental, and Social Considerations

2008, Clinical Psychology ReviewCitation Excerpt :There is, however, still some debate as to whether the disorder “breeds true” (i.e., the genetic risk is specific to the disorder), or if the genetic basis for the disorder is a broad trait that predisposes individuals to develop multiple disorders. Evidence obtained from some family studies suggests that the genetic vulnerability for SP may be specific to the disorder (Fyer, Mannuzza, Chapman, Liebowitz, & Klein, 1993; Reich & Yates, 1988); however, evidence from other types of studies suggests otherwise (e.g., Hettema et al., 2006; Mancini et al., 1996). For instance, “top down” family studies suggest that children of parents with SP are at increased risk for a number of other anxiety disorders in addition to SP (Mancini et al., 1996).
