A member asked:
What are the percentage chances of my baby getting schizophrenia if my brother has it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Estimates available: The following site give a very nice estimate of risk depending on the closeness of the relative.: http://www.Schizophrenia.Com/research/hereditygen.Htm. With an uncle, the risk is about doubled compared to the general population--which means still quite low.
