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]
Clinical, psychometric, and biometric assessment of schizophrenia: A psychiatric twin study (1991) Doctoral advisor: Irving Gottesman [1]
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).
