TL;DR: This work introduces a technique—cross-trait LD Score regression—for estimating genetic correlation that requires only GWAS summary statistics and is not biased by sample overlap, and uses this method to estimate 276 genetic correlations among 24 traits.

TL;DR: Susceptibility to ASD has moderate genetic heritability and a substantial shared twin environmental component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual differences in executive functions are almost entirely genetic in origin

TL;DR: A multivariate twin study of 3 executive functions (inhibiting dominant responses, updating working memory representations, and shifting between task sets), measured as latent variables, examined why people vary in these executive control abilities and why they are correlated but separable from a behavioral genetic perspective.

TL;DR: Detailed three-dimensional maps revealing how brain structure is influenced by individual genetic differences are reported, and may shed light on the heritability of cognitive and linguistic skills, as well as genetic liability for diseases that affect the human cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
The g factor.
TL;DR: Syllogisms would be suitable items in an achievement test, to determine whether a student had mastered the use of Venn diagrams after receiving instruction, and all algebraic formulas and equations are decontextualized statements.
