Tanrıkulu and Erbaş (2020) investigated identical twins to
determine the presence of an inherited link for schizophrenia
and why one twin may develop schizophrenia when the other
does not. When two people have 100% identical DNA, why
,age 3 of 183
don't both persons develop the exact illnesses? Studies of
identical Danish twins found that if one twin had schizophrenia,
the other twin had a 50% lifetime risk of developing
schizophrenia (Lemvigh et al., 2020).
Why is there only half the risk? .....Answer.......Both environmental
and psychosocial stressors can impact mental health. Although
twins may have identical genes, their gene expression may be
different.
There may be an environmental exposure that turned a gene
"on" that should have been "off" for one twin to develop
schizophrenia and not the other.
