摘要：

There are few reports in the literature of schizophrenia in individuals with Down's syndrome, but a suggestion that such individuals may be protected from schizophrenia. We report six cases of schizophrenia fulfilling ICD-10 guidelines, occurring in people with Down's syndrome. In one case, hypothyroidism was associated. Response to neuroleptic treatment was good. Reasons for the paucity of previous reports on this association are discussed.
