Generalist genes analysis of DNA markers associated with mathematical ability and disability reveals shared influence across ages and abilities.

BMC genetics - 5 Jul 2010

Docherty Sophia J, Kovas Yulia, Petrill Stephen A, Plomin Robert

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Generalist Genes Hypothesis is based upon quantitative genetic findings which indicate that many of the same genes influence diverse cognitive abilities and disabilities across age. In a recent genome-wide association study of mathematical ability in 10-year-old children, 43 SNP associations were nominated from scans of pooled DNA, 10 of which were validated in an individually genotyped sample....
