The familial/sporadic distinction as a strategy in schizophrenia research

SW Lewis, AM Reveley, MA Reveley, B Chitkara and RM Murray
Institute of Psychiatry, Maudsley Hospital.

It is concluded from the evidence available that, by identifying subgroups of greater aetiological homogeneity, the strategy can be a useful starting point for research into likely causes.
