Genome-wide association study identifies 74 loci associated with educational attainment

Aysu Okbay, +296 more
- 26 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for educational attainment were reported, showing that single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with educational attainment disproportionately occur in genomic regions regulating gene expression in the fetal brain.

Genome-wide association meta-analysis in 269,867 individuals identifies new genetic and functional links to intelligence

Jeanne E. Savage, +135 more
- 25 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: A large-scale genetic association study of intelligence identifies 190 new loci and implicates 939 new genes related to neurogenesis, neuron differentiation and synaptic structure, a major step forward in understanding the neurobiology of cognitive function as well as genetically related neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Genetic variants associated with subjective well-being, depressive symptoms, and neuroticism identified through genome-wide analyses

Aysu Okbay, +216 more
- 01 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted genome-wide association studies of three phenotypes: subjective well-being (n = 298,420), depressive symptoms (n= 161,460), and neuroticism(n = 170,911).

GWAS of 126,559 Individuals Identifies Genetic Variants Associated with Educational Attainment

Cornelius A. Rietveld, +230 more
- 21 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a genome-wide association study of educational attainment was conducted in a discovery sample of 101,069 individuals and a replication sample of 25,490 individuals, and three independent SNPs are genome wide significant (rs9320913, rs11584700, rs4851266).
