Schizophrenia: A critical view on genetic effects

2015-09-14

Abstract excerpt

The main justification for molecular genetics studies of enduring psychosis (schizophrenia) are high heritability estimates obtained from classical twin studies. The classical twin method rests upon the equal environment assumption (EEA), which holds that reared-together identical and fraternal twin pairs grow up experiencing equally similar environmental exposures. However, a review of prior twin studies shows th...
