The Adopted-Away Offspring of Schizophrenics
Abstract
In this study, adopted-away children of schizophrenics were compared with 67 controls—adoptees whose parents had no known psychiatric history. The rate of diagnoses in the "schizophrenia spectrum" was 31.6 percent for the entire index group, compared to 17.8 percent for the control group. The authors believe that evidence from this study supports the theory that heredity plays a significant role in the etiology of schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
