schizophrenia in twins *
This study is one which answers many of Dr. Rosenthal's criticisms of earlier work, and in part, it may be seen as an outgrowth of them. Dr. Kringlen's study is in the fine Scandinavian epidemiologic tradition. In addition, his research zeal is apparent in his search for the twins. As would be predicted from the Rosenthal paper, Dr. Kringlen finds much lower concordance rates for schizophrenia ...
متن کاملOverlapping and segregating structural brain abnormalities in twins with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
CONTEXT The nosologic dichotomy between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (BD) as formulated by Kraepelin is currently being questioned, stimulated by the finding that schizophrenia and BD partly share a common genetic origin. Although both disorders are characterized by changes in brain structure, family studies suggest more segregating than overlapping neuroanatomical abnormalities in both d...
متن کاملOf genes and twins
The two paradigms that now dominate the increasingly active field of psychiatric genetics – genetic epidemiology and gene-finding methods – are well illustrated by five papers in this issue of Psychological Medicine. Genetic epidemiology, which uses the classical ‘work-horse ’ methods of family, twin and adoption studies, infers the action of genetic and environmental risk factors by observing ...
متن کاملSilent travellers: germs, genes, and the “immigrant menace”
prolonged discharge from the womb; so singing is not a "remedy", nor is the condition furor uterinus.

She interprets the autopsy in the sixth picture as evidence that death was seen as ...
متن کاملDopamine genes and schizophrenia: case closed or evidence pending?
The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia (SZ) has motivated a large number of genetic association studies but few if any dopaminergic (DA) polymorphisms are accepted as credible risk factors at present. To evaluate whether dopamine-related genes have been investigated adequately, we surveyed public genetic databases and published SZ association studies with regard to 14 conventional DA genes an...
