Objective: To understand the occurrence of soft neurological signs in the parents of patients with schizophrenia and its relation to the patients. Methods: The soft neurological singns were examined and evaluated in 46 patients with schizophrenia
along with 78 of their parents
and 76 of parents of healthy subjects respectively. Results: The scores and the positive incidence rate of the soft neurological signs in the parents in the experimental group were much higher than that in the control group. The scores of soft neurological signs in the patients with schizophrenia were positively correlated with that in their parents. Conclusion: It suggests that the soft neurological signs in the patients with schizophrenia are related to the genetic factor and may present significance in etiology.
