Psychiatric Abnormality and Brain Calcification over Four Generations

Abstract
An association between basal ganglia calcification and psychiatric abnormality, mainly schizophrenia, is described in three generations of a family; schizophrenia is also recorded in the previous generation. The mode of inheritance appears to be an X-linked dominant one. Unusual sensitivity to neuroleptics also occurred in four members of the family. No comparable family study is believed by the authors to have been reported previously.
