…science figures out exactly why and how some people with a given genetic predisposition for an illness will develop that illness, whilst others do not. As discussed in this article about the 2003 book The Gene Illusion [1], the 50% rate of identitical twin concordance for schizophrenia is widely cited as evidence that it is a genetically deterministic condition. But whether or not the figure is really 50% or something…
