@ SometimesPsychotic (And everyone else), I'm learning basic genetics for my last topic in grade 12 biology and I have to do a presentation on genetics in relation to disorders so I picked schizophrenia because it seems pretty obvious that there's a genealogical component in relation to environmental factors. Something like 55/45%. My previous presentation was on prenatal methamphetamine exposure which can lead to schizophrenia and other disorders so I thought ya..
You seem to know a lot about this stuff so I'm just asking like what specific genes (because there's thousands so just in general) are they? I've found genes like DISC1, DISC2, COMT, etc. Just a few paragraphs on what you know such as statistics on generations etc would be really helpful. I disabled private messaging but no one cares if I post here I'm sure.
The more I look at it, It seems like people are just getting it through psychological stress and environmental factors such as abuse etc. It is genetics that are involved but idk I might have to change the disorder but I've gone too far into it now and I'm good at researching..
Btw the info on deterioration in grey matter seems helpful as well because that's what these genes lead to when activated I think.
Thanks
