Neurobiology of Diseases published findings from a joint Tel Aviv University and John Hopkins University study looking for genetic signs of schizophrenia.

They examined nerve cells from the subjects’ noses.

Medical scientists say they applied research that has found genetic switches that cause other conditions like diabetes and cancer.  They found three genetic controls that were active in all the schizophrenics in the study, but not in the ‘normal’ test subjects.

Currently the only way to diagnose schizophrenia is by subjective opinions of mental health officials.
