Schizophrenia
In The Jewish Community

Researchers at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and other collaborating
institutions are conducting a study to understand the biological cause of schizophrenia among
Ashkenazi Jews. Both environmental and genetic factors are believed to play a role in
determining who is susceptible to the disease. Although schizophrenia does not occur more
frequently among the Jewish population, the fact that the Ashkenazi Jewish community evolved
from a limited number of ancestors and that they tend to marry individuals from the same ethnic
background provides unique opportunities for the genetic analysis.

Ashkenazi Jewish families with TWO or MORE LIVING SIBLINGS who have a diagnosis of
schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder are potentially eligible for inclusion in the study.
