Does it really justify the terrifying prospect at the end of the article ...?

New study of effects of two genes on schizophrenia may aid in quicker diagnoses and the development of new therapies
Scientists have suspected for more than two decades
that schizophrenia is linked to defects in the brain's white matter.
They could not tell, however, whether changes in the
information-transmitting region of the brain detected by brain scans or
autopsies were the cause or the symptoms of the illness.
A new study not only clarifies the association but also links it to
genes previously tied to the debilitating mental disorder and chemical
changes believed to occur in the schizophrenic brain. "[The report]
provides evidence that alterations in myelin [the lipid layers that
sheath and insulate nerve fibers and are the main constituent of white
matter] can cause defects in neurons and the central nervous system in
general that are related to neuropsychiatric disease," says the study's
senior author Gabriel Corfas, a professor of neurology at Harvard
Medical School's Children's Hospital Boston
*snip* (and this is a long and complicated snip)
Corfas says that the new findings indicate that screening children with
noticeable cognitive and social defects for increased white matter or
changes in its organization could lead to earlier diagnosis of
schizophrenia. In addition, he says the results indicate that therapies
designed to treat other white matter disorders such as multiple
sclerosis could be useful in treating schizophrenia and other
neuropsychiatric disorders.*
