There is no definite chance. But studies on inheritance says chances of developing schizophrenia general population: 1% brother or sister has schizophrenia: 8% one parent has schizophrenia: 12% fraternal twin has schizophrenia: 14% both parents have schizophrenia: 39% identical twin has schizophrenia: 47% schizophrenia is not passed on directly, like eye or hair color. Other conditions are necessary because other factors are involved you need not unnecessarily worry. Have healthy die t and keep mind control.
