Study summary

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness which is considered to have, among other, a genetic etiology. One of the most efficient tools in genetic-psychiatry is the investigation of multiplex families.

The current study will identify patients of multiplex families and to map their family connections and the presence of mental illnesses among family members.
