How likely is schizophrenia hereditary?
Schizophrenia is partly genetic- one out of ten people who have at least one schizophrenic relative also have schizophrenia (compared to one out of one hundred people in general). About one out of two people whose identical twins have schizophrenia also have schizophrenia. However, schizophrenia is not completely genetic. If schizophrenia was completely genetic, everyone who had an identical twin with schizophrenia would also have schizophrenia. This is not the case. Like I said before, about 50% of people whose identical twins have schizophrenia also have schizophrenia. There are environmental as well as genetic factors to schizophrenia.
Is an investigation in which a group that receives some experimental treatment is compared to a group that does not receive the experimental treatment.?

The group receiving the experimental treatment is called the treatment group, and the group that is not receiving the experimental treatment is called the control group.
