Antisaccade Performance as a Familial-Risk Marker for OCD in Adolescents
A study has investigated antisaccade performance among adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), their unaffected siblings, and healthy controls. The research aimed to determine if antisaccade performance could serve as a familial-risk marker for OCD. The study found that adolescents with OCD had lower antisaccade correct response rates and longer latencies compared to healthy controls, with siblings showing intermediate performance. These findings suggest that antisaccade performance may reflect familial vulnerability to OCD.
