A STUDY OF COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN NIGERIAN PATIENTS WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA, THEIR FIRST-DEGREE RELATIVES AND HEALTHY CONTROLS.

Background: Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric condition with cognitive symptoms infrequently assessed clinically, yet, they impact the functioning of patients. Cognitive impairments have been found more in unaffected relatives of patients with schizophrenia, compared to healthy controls, suggesting them as endophenotypes of schizophrenia. There are few studies in Nigeria and Africa on these.
