[Concordance in twins and the component partition of phenotypic variance in schizophrenia].

Abstract excerpt

The paper deals with a study of the pairwise and proband concordance rates to schizophrenia in 36 monozygotic (MZ) and 87 dizygotic (DZ) twins. Pairwise concordance rate to manifestative forms of schizophrenia was 0.54 and 0.18 for MZ and DZ twins, respectively, but when broader diagnostic criteria were used, the values were 0.73 and 0.27. Proband concordance rate in MZ twins was 0.70. The results of component...
