PERSONALITY DISORDERS (C SCHMAHL, SECTION EDITOR) Gene-Environment Studies and Borderline Personality Disorder: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review recent gene-environment studies relevant to borderline personality disorder, including those focusing on impulsivity, emotion sensitivity, suicidal behavior, aggression and anger, and the borderline personality phenotype itself. Almost all the studies reviewed suffered from a number of methodological and statistical problems, limiting the conclusions that currently can be drawn. The best evidence to date supports a gene-environment correlation (rGE) model for borderline personality traits and a range of adverse life events, indicating that those at risk for BPD are also at increased risk for exposure to environments that may trigger BPD. We provide suggestions regarding future research on GxE interaction and rGE effects in borderline personality.

متن کاملMRS study at 3.0 Tesla of the anterior cingulate cortex in patients with borderline personality disorder and healthy controls
Introduction: The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Several studies have reported anatomical and functional abnormalities in this region in BPD patients [1]. Only one study, however, has so far evaluated the ACC region with H MRS in BPD patients [2]. In our study we aimed to determine the absolute concentrations ...
