The researchers had hypothesized that schizoida in a twin was how a schizophrenia carrier gene, one in a non-schizophrenic still passing on a genetic risk, expressed itself. The twin study did not confirm this. [16] In the Denmark study, the researchers evaluated the extent to which genes underpin psychopathology. [3]
James Shields (21 November 1918 – 20 June 1978) was a Scottish psychiatric geneticist and twin researcher. [1] In the 1960s, he worked with Irving Gottesman on a twin study of schizophrenia at the Medical Research Council Psychiatric Genetics Unit at Maudsley Hospital in London , England .
The power of twin designs arises from the fact that twins may be either identical (monozygotic (MZ), i.e. developing from a single fertilized egg and therefore sharing all of their polymorphic alleles) or fraternal (dizygotic (DZ), i.e. developing from two fertilized eggs and therefore sharing on average 50% of their alleles, the same level of genetic similarity found in non-twin siblings).
Irving I. Gottesman (1930–2016), US behavioral geneticist, used twin studies to analyze schizophrenia Carol W. Greider (born 1961), US molecular biologist, Lasker Award and Nobel Prize for telomeres and telomerase
A review of multiple studies found that major depressive disorder and PTSD are very likely to occur at the same time. As many as half of patients with PTSD also struggle with depression.

Doctors explain which blood type is more susceptible to norovirus, also known as the 24-hour flu and stomach bug. Plus, how one gene mutation helps protect from it.
McGuffin and colleagues re-examined the classic Maudsley schizophrenia study of Gottesman and Shields at a time when there widespread questioning of a genetic component for schizophrenia on the basis that studies until then had used descriptive clinical diagnoses rather than modern operational criteria.
