  • A General Dimension of Genetic Sharing across Diverse Cognitive Traits Inferred from Molecular Data - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32895543

    ABSTRACT: It has been known since 1904 that, in humans, diverse cognitive traits are positively inter correlated. This forms the basis for the general factor of intelligence (g). Here, we directly test whether there is a partial genetic basis for individual differences in g using data from seven different cognitive tests (N = 11,263 to N = 331,679) and genome-wide autosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms. A genetic g factor accounts for an average of 58.4% (SE = 4.8%) of the genetic variance in the cognitive traits, with the proportion varying widely across traits (range: 9% to 95%). We distill genetic loci that are broadly relevant for many cognitive traits (g) from loci associated specifically with individual cognitive traits. These results contribute to elucidating the etiology of a lo

  • Study of 300,486 individuals identifies 148 independent genetic loci influencing general cognitive function - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29844566

    ABSTRACT: General cognitive function is a prominent and relatively stable human trait that is associated with many important life outcomes. We combine cognitive and genetic data from the CHARGE and COGENT consortia, and UK Biobank (total N = 300,486; age 16-102) and find 148 genome-wide significant independent loci (P < 5 × 10−8) associated with general cognitive function. Within the novel genetic loci are variants associated with neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders, physical and psychiatric illnesses, and brain structure. Gene-based analyses find 709 genes associated with general cognitive function. Expression levels across the cortex are associated with general cognitive function. Using polygenic scores, up to 4.3% of variance in general cognitive function
