• Although paranoid symptoms and premorbid schizoid personality did not differentiate the two groups, nonschizoid patients who were nonparanoid tended to be in the PLD group while nonschizoid patients who were paranoid tended to be in the HCD group [3].
• Paranoid or schizoid personality disorders is also associated with a polymorphism of the DRD2, which might be associated with a previously demonstrated low density of this receptor [4].

• A two-factor varimax solution yielded a first factor accounting for 49 per cent of total unrotated variance with high (0.70 to 0.91) loadings from Hallucinatory predisposition, Perceptual aberration, Schizophrenism, STA and STB scales, and was interpreted as reflecting a general factor of schizoid personality disorder [7].
