Two individuals in the nonpsychiatric control group were given a diagnosis of a lifetime anxiety disorder (one had Panic Disorder, and one had a history of PTSD) but neither of these controls were genotyped.
Axis II disorders were not assessed for 22 relatives of schizophrenia patients and 13 relatives of bipolar disorder patients because they did not travel to the study site. The percentages reflect the proportion of individuals with genotype data affected for whom Axis II diagnoses were available.
