ABSTRACT
A biological and clinical followup of the Genain Quadruplets was initiated as a multilaboratory collaborative effort at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). The quadruplets are 51-year-old monozygotic women previously studied with a battery of psychological and physiological tests 25 years ago at the NIMH. The present article (the first of a series of three) details the clinical history and course of the schizophrenic illness in each of the quadruplets and describes the biochemical measures determined. The findings of elevated urinary phenylethylamine excretion, decreased plasma dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity, and increased alpha-adrenergic receptor concentrations in all quadruplets warrant further genetic studies.
