Abstract

Chronic schizophrenic patients with first- or second-degree schizophrenic relatives were evaluated for memory function. Wechsler memory scale scores were significantly correlated between index cases and relatives (r = 0.56, p < 0.05), suggesting that poor memory function in schizophrenia may represent a familial subtype.
