Limitations ?

  • environmental factor also increases risk

  • biological risk factors include birth complications

  • psychological risk factors e.g childhood trauma

  • teinari (1999)

  • means genetic factors alone cannot provide a complete explanation for schizophrenia

Any real life applications ?

  • genetic counselling

  • risk estimate provided by genetic counselling is just an average figure

  • not reflect probability of a particular child going on to develop schizophrenia because they will also experience a particular environment
