Confirming unexpressed genotypes for schizophrenia: risks in the offspring of Fischer's Danish identical and fraternal discordant twins

Irving I. Gottesman, +1 more
- 01 Oct 1989 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that discordance in identical twins may primarily be explained by the capacity of a schizophrenic genotype or diathesis to be unexpressed unless it is released by some kinds of environmental, including nonfamilial, stressors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comprehensive nationwide study of the incidence rate and lifetime risk for treated mental disorders.

Carsten Bøcker Pedersen, +13 more
- 01 May 2014 -

Irving I. Gottesman, +3 more
- 01 Mar 2010 -

Journal ArticleDOI

J. P. Leff, +2 more
- 01 Nov 1976 - 
TL;DR: An epidemiological study of the first admission rate for mania was carried out in London and Aarhus to conduct a retrospective study of case notes covering several years, and a screening procedure was used for the prospective collection of new cases over the course of one year.

Thomas Munk Laursen, +5 more
- 01 Aug 2005 - 
TL;DR: Schizoaffective disorder is not simply a subgroup of either bipolar disorder or schizophrenia but may be genetically linked to both, with schizoaffection being a subtype of each or a genetic intermediate form.
