We investigated whether obsessive–compulsive (OC) symptoms from a population‐based sample could be analyzed to detect genetic variants influencing obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). We performed a genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) on the obsession (rumination and impulsions) and compulsion (checking, washing, and ordering/precision) subscales of an abbreviated version of the Padua Inventory ( N  = 8,267 with genome‐wide genotyping and phenotyping). The compulsion subscale showed a substantial and significant positive genetic correlation with an OCD case–control GWAS ( r   G   = 0.61,  p  = .017) previously published by the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC‐OCD). The obsession subscale and the total Padua score showed no significant genetic correlations ( r   G   = −0.02 and  r   G   = 0.42, respectively). A meta‐analysis of the compulsive symptoms GWAS with the PGC‐OCD revealed no genome‐wide significant Single‐Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs combined  N  = 17,992, indicating that the power is still low for individual SNP effects). A gene‐based association analysis, however, yielded two novel genes ( WDR7  and  ADCK1 ). The top 250 genes in the gene‐based test also showed a significant increase in enrichment for psychiatric and brain‐expressed genes. S‐Predixcan testing showed that for genes expressed in hippocampus, amygdala, and caudate nucleus significance increased in the meta‐analysis with compulsive symptoms compared to the original PGC‐OCD GWAS. Thus, the inclusion of dimensional symptom data in genome‐wide association on clinical case–control GWAS of OCD may be useful to find genes for OCD if the data are based on quantitative indices of compulsive behavior. SNP‐level power increases were limited, but aggregate, gene‐level analyses showed increased enrichment for brain‐expressed genes related to psychiatric disorders, and increased association with gene expression in brain tissues with known emotional, reward processing, memory, and fear‐formation functions.
