Abstract
Evidence from a detailed investigation and review of the literature on monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia indicates that the schizophrenic index case was lighter in weight at birth than his co-twin (Stabenau and Pollin, 1967). Lane and Albee (1966) reported that schizophrenic singletons were significantly lighter in birth weight than their sibs.Keywords
