Rcjohnsen has some good advice, but be careful! It is easy to
misunderstand the entries in OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man).
Absolutely NONE of the linkage findings are really confirmed. At this
time we still have not identified any gene that affects susceptibility to
schizophrenia. Genetic markers are not useful in risk assessment for
schizophrenia.
