Temperment appears to be largely inborn and is often consistent over the years, though it may respond to social experiences or parental handling.<BR/><BR/>Schizophrenia<BR/>1. It is a mental disorder marked by loss of contact with reality; symptoms include hallucinations and delusions.<BR/>2. Risk of it is 10 times as great among siblings & offspring of schizophrenics as among the general population. The risk is from shared genes, not environment.<BR/>3. Disorder may originate in lack of chemical called Reelin. A defective gene of reelin may result in misplacement of nerve cells, and this may create a disposition to schizophrenia.<BR/>4. Estimated genetic contribution between 63-85%.<BR/><BR/>Autism<BR/>1. Pervasive developmental disorder of the brain characterized by lack of normal social interaction, impaired communication & imagination, and repetitive obsessive behaviors.<BR/>2. Affects estimated 6 of every 10000 people.<BR/>3. Boys<BR/>4. Children may speak in sing-song voice, paying little attention to listener. Severe cases often show repetitive behaviors such as spinning, rocking, hand flapping, and head banging. Obsessed with certain subjects, rituals, or routines.<BR/>5. Has no single cause, runs in families, seems to have strong genetic basis, From gene HOXA1, involved in development in brain stem, most primitive part of brain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088273984661570768.post-25723619406380308032008-09-22T20:04:00.000-04:002008-09-22T20:04:00.000-04:00Just testing...Just testing...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
