Tanrıkulu and Erbaş (2020) investigated identical twins to determine the presence of an
inherited link for schizophrenia and why one twin may develop schizophrenia when the other
does not. When two people have 100% identical DNA, why don't both persons develop the
exact illnesses? Studies of identical Danish twins found that if one twin had schizophrenia, the
other twin had a 50% lifetime risk of developing schizophrenia (Lemvigh et al., 2020). Why is
→ Both environmental and psychosocial stressors can impact mental health. Although twins
may have identical genes, their gene expression may be different.
→
→ There may be an environmental exposure that turned a gene "on" that should have
been "off" for one twin to develop schizophrenia and not the other.
