architecture is the number of risk alleles‚ their associated effect sizes and occurrence frequency‚ overlaid by epistasis. To understand the genetic architecture of Schizophrenia this paper will review the disorders inheritance patterns‚ phenotypes‚ pathophysiology and neurobiological pathways‚ methods of genetic study‚ candidate genes and the various models the data support and refute. Inheritance and Physiology Schizophrenia has a complex mode of inheritance with a proven genetic architecture and heritability
