COMT Val158Met and cognition: main effects and interaction with educational attainment.

Genes, brain, and behavior - 1 Feb 2009

Enoch M-A, Waheed J F, Harris C R, Albaugh B, Goldman D

Abstract excerpt

Studies in children have shown that the genetic influence on cognition is positively correlated with socioeconomic status. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met, a common, functional polymorphism, has been implicated in executive cognition and working memory. Imaging studies have shown that the variant Met allele is associated with more efficient prefrontal cortical processing and better attention but...
