A study by German and U.S. authors has found that people with a particular variation of a gene are more prone to anxiety disorders than others. People carrying two copies of the met158 variation of the catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT) gene showed greater anxiety on a standard personality test and were significantly more startled than others when shown a series of unpleasant pictures.
