Both of these disorders have a high genetic component. In both cases, scientists feel that it is a combination of genetics and environment which is responsible. In other words, there is a higher risk of getting one of these illnesses if you have a history of it in your family, but there are many other things which can make it worse or better. There is not a huge increase in your chances, even with a family history - identical twins of a schizophrenic person only have about a 50% chance of having it themselves, and considering that their genetic make-up is identical, that shows there is more going on than just the DNA.

Can bipolar people have schizophrenic symptoms?
Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia have some symptoms that are quite similar. The main difference between these two is that schizophrenia's characterized by hallucinations and delusions while bipolar disorder is mainly manic behavior followed by periods of depression. Typically, bipolar behaviors are fairly distinguishable from schizophrenia, but there are some rare cases of schizo-affective disorder which is a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder where there is a mood component accompanied by schizophrenia. In short, bipolar symptoms can be somewhat similar to schizophrenic symptoms, but unless the individual has schizo-affective disorder the symptoms won't be identical enough to confuse the two disorders with one another.
