Abstract
This was an effort to repeat in a controlled experiment Marieq's findings that the normally invisible subpapillary plexus was visible in more familial than nonfamilial schizophrenics. Newly admitted white male schizophrenic veterans were given detailed physical and mental examinations, including a blind evaluation of the relative visibility of the nailfold plexuses. Although the familial schizophrenics had more visible plexuses than the nonfamilial ones, the difference was small. The two categories were compared on 46 variables relating to background, mental status, treatment status, and physical condition with almost no positive results. The demonstrated difference in the nailfold plexuses seems to be of little nosological value.
