... that abnormal P50 suppression is an endophenotype for schizophrenia?

Article is new and big enough. Citations throughout. Listed user did the work. QPQ OK. However some writing is too jargony and I did not understand it. Terms like proband and endophenotype are not needed or need a clear explanation. So this applies to the hook, and people reading the hook will have no idea what it is talking about. It's fair enough to leave P50 as the mystery, but the rest of the hook should be comprehensible. So I suggest another hook. Perhaps use the term biological marker, it does not seem to be related to genetics. The reference provided does not confirm that P50 is an indication of schizophrenia, but that P300 is. The reference says that P50 is an ERP. And that ERPs have been used in the drug development. Perhaps there is another reference that makes a more clear statement.

ALT1: ... that abnormal P50 suppression is a biomarker for schizophrenia?
All right, we can use "biological marker" if that's a more well-known term. I added another citation talking about P50 in particular as well. static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 16:09, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Hook ALT1 can be understood, short enough, and the new citation confirms it. Good to go Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:39, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
