Topic 8.3
In what way does knowledge from genetics contribute to our understanding of schizophrenic spectrum disorders?
Genetic research has indicated schizophrenia results from a single dominant gene passed on by parents.
The study of genetics asserts all mental illnesses share common genetic markers.
Genetic knowledge suggests schizophrenia is entirely hereditary, eliminating environmental factors.
Identifying specific genes associated with schizophrenia can potentially lead to personalized treatments.
