Genome-wide Association Study Identifies SORCS3 as a Novel Susceptibility Locus for Panic Disorder in the FinnGen Study Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder with poorly understood etiology. Although twin studies suggest modest heritability (∼40%), few genetic variants have been associated with it. We carried out a gen... https://medrxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2025.07.03.25330813v1
