| Main Objective: To determine the predictive character of the 5-HTTLPR functional polymorphism in the answer to the treatment with escitalopram in patients suffering from OCD;Primary end point(s): The criteria is the answer to escitalopram after 12 weeks of treatment. A patient is considered as "responder" in case of improvement of OCD estimated by a reduction of the initial score of Y BOCS = 25 %. ;Secondary Objective: - To determine prevalency of LL, SS, LS genotypes of 5-HTTLPR, CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*17. - To evaluate the answer to escitalopram after 12 weeks of treatment according to CYP2C19 polymorphisms (CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*17 in particular). - To evaluate the clinical answer after 24 weeks of escitalopram treatment in subjects responding to this drug after 12 weeks, according to the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism. - To evaluate after 24 weeks, the answer to the treatment of second intention with paroxetine, prescribed at the patients not answering to escitalopram after 12 weeks, according to the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism. - To evaluate the tolerance of escitalopram and/or paroxetine, on the whole population and according to the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism. - To determine the clinical factors associated with a nonresponse after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment. - To estimate the association between the consciousness of the disorders (insight of the OCD) and the treatment answer after 12 and 24 weeks | — |
