Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic studies of schizophrenia suggest that there are likely multiple genes involved in increasing a person's risk for developing schizophrenia. No single gene or X chromosome has been identified as the sole cause of schizophrenia. The heritability of schizophrenia is estimated to be around 80%, which is high but not as high as the heritability of Huntington's disease. Additionally, monozygotic twins have a higher concordance rate for schizophrenia than dizygotic twins, indicating a genetic component to the disorder.
