How does schizophrenia effect people who lack a sense of sight and/or sound? Are visual and/or auditory hallucinations still experienced?

Would these effects be different between those who were born without one or more of these senses, and those who lost these senses later in life?

We haven't seen any blind schizophrenics yet (Sanders et al. 2003).

Deaf schizophrenics seem to have many visual and tactile hallucinations, with auditory hallucinations not usually attested (Schonauer et al. 1998).
