Results of a “GWAS Plus:” General Cognitive Ability Is Substantially Heritable and Massively Polygenic
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-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in various ways. Our multigenerational sample comprised 7,100 Caucasian participants, drawn from two longitudinal family studies, who had been assessed with an age-appropriate IQ test and ha...
متن کاملCorrection: Results of a “GWAS Plus:” General Cognitive Ability Is Substantially Heritable and Massively Polygenic
There are several errors in mathematical expressions in theIntroduction under the subheading GWAS Plus: GCTA. In the final sentence of the second paragraph, the expression for the distribution of u is incorrect. The subscript n should be an m and the subscript epsilon should be a u. The correct distribution is: u∼Nmð0; IσuÞ. In the second sentence of the sixth paragraph, the expression for the ...
متن کاملPolygenic risk of ischemic stroke is associated with cognitive ability
OBJECTIVES We investigated the correlation between polygenic risk of ischemic stroke (and its subtypes) and cognitive ability in 3 relatively healthy Scottish cohorts: the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 (LBC1936), the Lothian Birth Cohort 1921 (LBC1921), and Generation Scotland: Scottish Family Health Study (GS). METHODS Polygenic risk scores for ischemic stroke were created in LBC1936 (n = 1005),...
متن کاملCan we detect polygenic selection on cognitive ability using GWAS hits? Employing random SNPs as a null model
Background: The genetic variants identified by three large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of educational attainment were used to test a polygenic selection model. ethods: Average frequencies of alleles with positive effect (polygenic scores or PS) were compared across populations (N=26) using data from 1000 Genomes. A null model was created using frequencies of random SNPs. Results: Pol...
متن کاملACT and general cognitive ability
Research on the SAT has shown a substantial correlation with measures of g such as the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Another widely administered test for college admission is the American College Test (ACT). Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, measures of g were derived from the ASVAB and correlated with ACT scores for 1075 participants. The resulting cor...
