Abstract excerpt
Cognitive ability has a substantial genetic component and more than 15 candidate genes have been identified over the past 8 years. One gene that has been associated with general cognitive ability is the cholinergic muscarinic 2 receptor (CHRM2). In an attempt to replicate this finding we typed marker rs8191992 (the originally reported CHRM2 SNP) in two population based cohorts-one Scottish aged over 50 years (N =...
