Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Correlations between Educational Attainment (EA) and measures of cognitive performance are as high as 0.8. This makes EA an attractive alternative phenotype for studies wishing to map genes affecting cognition due to the ease of collecting EA data compared to other cognitive phenotypes such as IQ. METHODOLOGY: In an Australian family sample of 9538 individuals we performed a genome-wide association...
