Research studies focusing on genetic factors in schizophrenia have found that
a. an individual with a schizophrenic identical twin has the highest risk factor (almost 50 percent) of developing schizophrenia.
b. in family studies of schizophrenia, the genetic influence can be separated from the environmental impact.
c. if one person in a family has a particular subtype of schizophrenia, e.g., paranoid, the other family members inherit a predisposition for that subtype only.
d. the more severe a parent's schizophrenic disorder, the less likely the children are to develop it.

The Genain quadruplets Nora, Iris, Myra and Hester showed us that

b. The course, symptoms and prognosis of schizophrenia can be determined by birth weight
c. Schizophrenia is almost entirely genetic in its etiology
d. Having the same family environment largely ensures the same outcome in schizophrenia
