The reciprocally modifying effect of schizophrenia and diabetes mellitus on their phenotypic manifestations
Cytology and Genetics 1997, v 31, number 5, 67-70
The frequency of diabetes mellitus of II type in schizophrenic patients is lower than in population. Total theoretic frequency of diabetes of II type and schizophrenia association is 4.2%, that in 3.8 times lower of its real frequency (1.1%). Schizophrenia in association with diabetes mellitus II type preferentially appears at the age more than 35 and has a favourable course. This endocrine disease does not prevent the penetrance of schizophrenic gene-complexes, but essentially enhance its expressivity. Schizophrenia and its biological features ease the course of diabetes mellitus.
