Discovering genes that affect cognitive ability

Trends Genet. 2023 Aug 16:S0168-9525(23)00167-1. doi: 10.1016/j.tig.2023.08.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTwin and genomic studies indicate that genes play an important role in the development of cognitive ability. However, data limitations have made it difficult to pinpoint specific genes with a large impact. By examining the full gene sequences of >300 000 individuals, Chen et al. find eight such genes.PMID:37596117 | DOI:10.1016/j.tig.2023.08.001
