I've seen numbers from 30-80% for the genetic basis but it's a lot more complicated than that. The most recent studies that see sz as between 8 and 40 different illnesses and not one thing suggest that with some gene combinations you have nearly 100% chance of developing sz. That really suggests that there is a very strong genetic basis for some people as opposed to environmental factors but accounts for the fact that everyone has a different experience.
