A statement which accurately describe genetics and schizophrenia would be:
1. One single gene is responsible for producing schizophrenia.
2. There is strong evidence that environmental factors do not affect the risk of developing schizophrenia.
3. 10% of first degree relatives (children, siblings, parents) are diagnosed with schizophrenia at some point in their lives.
4. The chance of monozygotic (identical) twins both having schizophrenia is 100%.
3
Rationale: 10% of first degree relatives (children, siblings, parents) are diagnosed with schizophrenia at some point in their lives. One single gene is not responsible for producing schizophrenia. There is strong evidence that environmental factors do affect the risk of developing schizophrenia. The chance of monozygotic (identical) twins both having schizophrenia is 25 to 39%, not 100%.
