no Phillipa, the studies are just saying that the gene they found is linked to some mental illness or predisposition to them and it is found to be the same gene as lefthandedness. So you might conclude that lefthandedness might mean you are more predisposed to mental illness however the studies all concluded that isn't true. They knew little about this gene that influences lefthandness. Mental illness affects all and this is just a step closer to finding something out about it but it is way too early to tell what exactly this information means. If you follow Linkadge's link in the previous posts you can read the study's results firsthand they are just interesting but not real definitive. I went on to look up more just because I found it interesting. Just another study to try and find out parts to a large puzzle. rk
