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]
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).

It is a structured way of observing and describing a patient's psychological functioning at a given point in time, under the domains of appearance, attitude, behavior, mood and affect, speech, thought process, thought content, perception, cognition, insight, and ...
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; Jack Greenblatt (20-21st centuries), Molecular geneticist at the University of Toronto
Getting involved with the justice system is one of the fastest ways to end a teenager’s potential for becoming a successful adult. Being jailed as a juvenile makes a kid less likely to graduate from high school and more likely to be incarcerated later in life, according to a 2015 study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
