During the past decade, polygenic scores have become a fast-growing area of research in
the behavioural sciences. The ability to directly assess people's genetic propensities has …

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

Despite the substantial heritability estimates for psychological traits, their precise genetic
foundation from a molecular perspective remains elusive. We summarize findings and …

Background: Much of what we thought we knew about genetics needs to be modified in light
of recent discoveries. What are the implications of these advances for identifying genes …

The availability of genome-wide genetic data on hundreds of thousands of people has led to
an equally rapid growth in methodologies available to analyse these data. While the …

Major psychiatric disorders are heritable but they are genetically complex. This means that,
with certain exceptions, single gene markers will not be helpful for diagnosis. However, we …

Background Despite evidence from twin and family studies for an important contribution of
genetic factors to both childhood and adult onset psychiatric disorders, identifying robustly …

BACKGROUND: Genetic association studies are widely used in biomedical research and
yet only a minority of positive findings stand the test of replication. I explored the capacity of …

One of the longest-standing debates within psychology concerns the extent to which we can
identify biological factors in the prediction of individual differences in personality. Factors …

A primary goal of polygenic scores, which aggregate the effects of thousands of trait-
associated DNA variants discovered in genome-wide association studies (GWASs), is to …
