[Genetic factors study in family aggregation of schizophrenia in Santiago, Chile].
Genetic epidemiological studies indicate that genetic factors contribute to a familial aggregation of schizophrenia. The form of inheritance has not been elucidated but most studies have been done in Caucasian populations. ⋯ Our results show the participation of a major dominant locus and a multifactorial component in the inheritance of schizophrenia, as has been reported elsewhere.
