From 2016: New findings about schizophrenia rekindle old questions about genes and identity.
Bleuler tried to find an explanation for the mysterious symptoms, but there was only one seemingly common element: schizophrenic patients tended to have first-degree relatives who were also schizophrenic. He had no tools to understand the mechanism behind the heredity. The word “gene” had been coined just two years before Bleuler published his book.
In 2006, an international consortium of psychiatric geneticists launched a genomic survey of schizophrenia, hoping to advance the search for the implicated genes. With 3,322 patients and 3,587 controls, this was one of the largest and most rigorous such studies in the history of the disease. Researchers scanned through the nearly seven thousand genomes to find variations in gene segments that were correlated with schizophrenia.
The Delhi of my childhood was a low-rise city. In the nineteen-sixties, my father, having clambered through the ranks of a Japanese multinational company , had built himself a sizable two-story house, a far step from the two-room flat in Calcutta that he had shared with his four brothers and his mother after Partition.
My father listens silently, but I can feel a meniscus of rage rising in him, coating his throat with bile. He walks to the steel closet, where we keep the household cash, and brings it to the men, making a point of not bothering to count the notes. They should keep the change.
