A new study by Szabolcs Keri and colleagues at Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary, says that the creativity of a person is influenced by mutations in the gene linked to schizophrenia.
The researchers were examining a gene called neuregulin , which has been linked to the development of the personality disorder in previous studies.

"My clinical experience is that high-IQ people with psychosis have more intellectual capacity to deal with psychotic experiences. It's not enough to experience those feelings, you have to communicate them," New Scientist quoted Keri as saying.
The details of the study appear in the journal Psychological Science.
Schizophrenia Linked to Specific DNA Region
An international group of researchers have for the first time come up with genetic evidence linking schizophrenia to a specific region of DNA - on chromosome 6.
