Genetic Link to Schizophrenia Discovered

Sue Wu submitted, created time 8 months 6 days (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)

Researchers have found that people with schizophrenia are far more likely than other people to have a certain type of error in their genes. Scientists believe the finding will help them develop new treatments for schizophrenia and identify young people at high risk of developing the disorder.

Good. Now even people who don't have schizophrentic relatives can be screened. The NY Times did a writeup of this too:

Schizophrenia is a terrible disease that may make effects on our well-balanced life seriously,even
whittling human natural life to death. From the article,we know schizophrenia is not only caused by family common mutation,but also caused by individual rare mutation. As a result,any one may face the
risk of the disease.
All I hope is that the new methods of its treatment appear out early!

It's a terrible that there are any number of types of schizophrenia,scientists may caused a long period to look for specific pathways.
