II. Genotype-environment interaction in the schizophrenia spectrum: Qualitative observations

Article Abstract:

The Finnish Adoptive Family Study of Schizophrenia reveals that the adoptees appear to be resiliently protected against a pathologic outcome when either genetic liability is low or the rearing environment is healthy. The way in which multiple methods partially confirm one another is illustrated with six qualitative vignettes, together with quantitative measures and categorical diagnoses from the same families suggesting where further exploration of gene-environment interaction is needed.
