Individual differences in intelligence (cognitive abilities) are a prominent aspect of human
psychology, and play a substantial role in influencing important life outcomes. Their …

General intelligence (g) and virtually all other behavioral traits are heritable. Associations
between g and specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in several candidate genes …

Genome‐wide investigations for identifying the genes for complex traits are considered to be
agnostic in terms of prior assumptions for the responsible DNA alterations. The agreement of …

Abstract Background The Generalist Genes Hypothesis is based upon quantitative genetic
findings which indicate that many of the same genes influence diverse cognitive abilities and …

Replicable genetic association signals have consistently been found through genome-wide
association studies in recent years. The recent dramatic expansion of study sizes improves …

A key translational issue for neuroscience is to understand how genes affect individual
differences in brain function. Although it is reasonable to suppose that genetic effects on …

Abstract Published Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS), reporting the presence of
alleles exhibiting significant and replicable associations with IQ, are reviewed. The average …

For complex disease genetics research in human populations, remarkable progress has
been made in recent times with the publication of a number of genome-wide association …

Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) have allowed researchers to identify thousands
of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and other variants associated with particular …

Recent advances in genomics are producing powerful DNA predictors of complex traits,
especially cognitive abilities. Here, we leveraged summary statistics from the most recent …
