We carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for general cognitive ability (GCA)
plus three other analyses of GWAS data that aggregate the effects of multiple single …

Although twin, family, and adoption studies have shown that general cognitive ability (GCA)
is substantially heritable, GWAS has not uncovered a genetic polymorphism replicably …

Much time and effort, as well as funding, is being devoted to Genome Wide Association
Studies (GWAS) for identifying genetic causes of variation (single nucleotide polymorphisms …

General cognitive ability (g), which refers to what cognitive abilities have in common, is an
important target for molecular genetic research because multivariate quantitative genetic …

Childhood general cognitive ability (g) is important for a wide range of outcomes in later life,
from school achievement to occupational success and life expectancy. Large-scale …

Cognitive deficits and reduced educational achievement are common in psychiatric illness;
understanding the genetic basis of cognitive and educational deficits may be informative …

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have uncovered DNA variants associated with
individual differences in general cognitive ability (g), but these are far from capturing …

All measures of cognitive processes correlate moderately at the phenotypic level and
correlate substantially at the genetic level. General cognitive ability (g) refers to what diverse …

Intelligence is a highly polygenic trait and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have
identified thousands of DNA variants contributing with small effects. Polygenic scores (PGS) …

association studies (GWAS) are a relatively new and powerful tool to identify gene variants
involved in human variation. The method scans the whole genome for small genetic …
