[Contribution to the inheritance of schizophrenic psychosis].
This case presentation involves a family study looking at the inheritance of schizophrenic psychosis. It refers to the increasing risk of disease in correlation to the closeness of the relationship. The study includes both affected parents, their three children and one grandchild, all of whom had multiple hospital admissions and received psychiatric treatment. The clinical features were typical of schizophrenia. The severity of illness increased within the later generation. This study indicates a high risk correlation in this family and is in keeping with other current field studies.
