Sensitivity to 35% CO2 in healthy first-degree relatives of patients with panic disorder

Department of Neuropsychiatric Sciences, Instituto Scientifico H. San Raffaele, University of Milan, Italy.

OBJECTIVE: The authors tested the hypothesis that hyperreactivity to CO2 in healthy subjects represents an underlying familial vulnerability to panic disorder. METHOD: One vital-capacity inhalation of 35% CO2 and 65% O2 was administered to each of 84 patients with panic disorder, 23 healthy first-degree relatives of probands with panic disorder, and 44 healthy subjects with no family history of panic disorder. RESULTS: The first-degree relatives of the probands with panic disorder reacted significantly more than the healthy subjects and significantly less than the probands. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest an association between family history of panic disorder and hyperreactivity to 35% CO2 in healthy subjects.
