Cluster analysis of obsessive-compulsive symptomatology: identifying obsessive-compulsive disorder subtypes.

Abstract

The data here are consistent with previous work delineating the different symptom subtypes of OCD, also with previous work suggesting that the Met/Met (L/L) genotype of the COMT Val158Met polymorphism may be associated with anxiety symptoms, as well as with previous work suggesting that dopaminergic genes may be particularly important in early-onset OCD.
