Albinism and schizophreniform psychosis: a pedigree study.

M Baron.   

Abstract

The author presents a pedigree study of albinism associated with schizophreniform psychosis and concludes that the evidence of an association between the two traits is strong; the evidence for genetic linkage is suggestive. The pineal hormone melatonin and the melanocyte-stimulating hormone inhibitory factor may be etiologic determinants of psychosis associated with albinism.
