The familial/sporadic distinction as a strategy in schizophrenia research

S W Lewis et al. Br J Psychiatry. 1987 Sep.

Abstract

The rationale and limitations of discriminating between cases of schizophrenia with and without a family history are reviewed. It is concluded from the evidence available that, by identifying subgroups of greater aetiological homogeneity, the strategy can be a useful starting point for research into likely causes.
