The genetics of cognitive ability and cognitive ageing in healthy older people.

Trends in cognitive sciences - 1 Sept 2011

Harris Sarah E, Deary Ian J

Abstract excerpt

Determining the genetic influences on cognitive ability in old age and in cognitive ageing are important areas of research in an increasingly ageing society. Heritability studies indicate that genetic variants strongly influence cognitive ability differences throughout the lifespan, including in old age. To date, however, only the genes encoding apolipoprotein E (APOE) and possibly catechol-O-methyl transferase...
