Background Correlations between Educational Attainment (EA) and measures of cognitive
performance are as high as 0.8. This makes EA an attractive alternative phenotype for …

Genetic variants identified by three large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of
educational attainment (EA) were used to test a polygenic selection model. Weighted and …

Introduction Educational attainment is a substantially heritable trait, and it has recently been
linked to specific genetic variants by genome‐wide association studies (GWASs). However …

People's differences in cognitive functions are partly heritable and are associated with
important life outcomes. Previous genome-wide association (GWA) studies of cognitive …

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 …
