Scientists have identified hundreds of regions of the human genome that are linked with schizophrenia. These findings are exciting because they provide clues to the biological basis of this devastating disorder – clues that may ultimately help us to develop better treatments. However, attempts to understand how genes contribute to the symptoms that patients experience reveal how complex – and poorly understood – the human brain is.

Sadly, it does appear to be hereditary.
I think we’d need quite a few more proteins to actually spell it out…
GATCU (DNA expansion required for the following:) SUM OF DAT SZ
GATCU TAT…mmm how to translate SZ…
they have found 108 genome location…
that are affected
i think it can be avoided, i think the human brain is very power and if you cannot control that power then you’ve got a problem.
It has been concluded by scientists that the human genome is deteriorating. Mutations in certain genes, then passed down?
Off topic, but hey far_cry0! Good to see you’re still around!

It comes down to the nature/nurture quandary. One way I’ve heard it put is that “Nature loads the gun, and the environment pulls the trigger.” It seems to me that most sz’s have abuse in their history. Of course, lot of non-sz’s have been abused, and they didn’t come down with sz.
I do believe it has to do with abuse and the environment as well. Excellent insight crimby.
