Health Matters: The Genetics of Schizophrenia

Back


Dr. David Braff, Professor of Psychiatry at UCSD, discusses schizophrenia with an emphasis on the role genetics play in this disease. Schizophrenia is thought to result from a complex interplay of genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors. Understanding the genetic components of schizophrenia is crucial to finding out about the risk factors, and heritability of this illness. This may lend itself to the creation of more effective treatments. Series: "Health Matters" [4/2006] [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 9903]
