title: Schizophrenia-a genetic study.
abstract: 102 families of schizophrenic patients were studied by drawing pedigree charts. The affected relatives failed to manifest any sexwise difference and so were the probands. Parental consanguinity doesn't seem to augment positive family history. When Slater's computational model was applied to assess the mode of inheritance, the study favoured polygenic hypothesis.
