Schizophrenia is a neurobiological disorder that can be both debilitating and life-threatening.
It is estimated that Schizophrenia will affect over 2 million Americans during their adult lives. We are recruiting individuals with Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder for our family studies. Our goal is to identify the genetic factors that contribute to Schizophrenia. Of particular interest is chromosome 22, which has been identified as a candidate site for genes that are associated with Schizophrenia. If you meet these criteria or if you would just like more information, we would like to hear from you.
