title: Association between the catechol-O-methyltransferase Val158Met polymorphism and panic disorder: a replication.
abstract: The association between the catechol-O-methyltransferase Val158Met polymorphism and panic disorder was studied in a Swedish sample of 211 patients and 452 controls. We found a significant excess of the Val allele in both male and female patients, the latter but not the former finding being in line with previous studies.
