or call toll free at 1-877-363-5895 (Schizophrenia) or

you will find information on our various research studies. We
currently have three main studies focusing on schizophrenia
and schizoaffective disorders. Because of the nature
of genetics research some of our studies focus on specific ethnic groups and
family types. Files
for download from these pages are in Adobe PDF format.
