In a previous paper we demonstrated in a large twin study that disordered gambling (DG) as defined by the DSM-IV symptom set runs in families, that about half of the variation in liability for DG was due to familial factors, and that all of this was explained by shared genetic rather than shared environmental influences. The purpose of the present study was to extend this work to also include an alternative conceptualization of DG that is provided by the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) item set in order to (a) compare the magnitude of the familial resemblance obtained when using the two definitions of DG (based on the DSM-IV and the SOGS), (b) examine the extent to which the two definitions tap the same underlying sources of genetic and environmental variation, and (c) examine whether the same results will be obtained among men and women. The results of bivariate twin model-fitting analyses suggested that DG as defined by the DSM-IV and SOGS substantially overlapped at the etiologic level among both men and women, which supports the construct validity of both the DSM and SOGS conceptualizations of DG. This study highlights the utility of twin studies for appraising the validity of the diagnostic nomenclature.
