In this issue, Goldman et alArticle used a high-throughput technique to map cortical thickness in 196 normal controls, 115 affected patients with schizophrenia, and 192 unaffected siblings to study disease-related heritability. The data show widespread thickness reductions in the patient group, most pronouncedly in the frontal lobe and temporal cortex, but only trend-level reductions in siblings. Analysis of heritability of these changes (using the Risch λ measure) revealed widespread evidence for heritability for cortical thickness.
