We thank Drs Price and Cantor for their interesting reactions. We welcome the prophet as a much more colourful ‘endophenotype’ for schizophrenia than a dysfunction in eye-tracking or prepulse inhibition. However, whether the increased reproductive fitness of a small number of prophets compensates for the reproductive impairments in patients with schizophrenia and their lonely schizotypal relatives remains to be demonstrated.
