Genetic and environmental influences on conduct disorder: Symptom, domain and full-scale analyses
Article Abstract:
An investigation of the genetic and environmental influences on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) conduct disorder (CD) at the level of symptoms, aggressive versus non-aggressive domains, and full-scale is presented. Results suggest that CD assessed using DSM-IV criteria might show differing patterns of heritability compared with estimates obtained for other measures of antisocial behavior such as the Child Behavior Checklist.
