Answer to Question 1

A
Several hundred genetic tests are in clinical use for illnesses such as muscular dystrophies, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia. Although research is being conducted, there is no proof of a definitive genetic cause for schizophrenia. The remaining options do not deal with conditions that have a proven link to a genetic cause.

A, B, C
