involved. Gottesman also looked at schizophrenics whose father had an identical twin. He found that there was a 17% of being schizophrenic when the father was but he also found that there was also 17% chance of developing the disease when the father’s twin had schizophrenia but the father didn’t. MZ twins share 100% of their genes; DZ twins share 50% of their genes. If genes are a factor we would expect more identical twins to share the disorder than non-identical.

ADHD-related symptoms in violent offenders (Retz et al 2003). The role of genetic factors in aggression can be tested in twin studies. Genes are identical in sets of monozygotic twins but are different between sets of dizygotic twins‚ meaning that if monozygotic twins are more alike in terms of aggression than dizygotic twins are‚ this similarity can be attributed to genetics.
