Dopaminergic polymorphisms and educational achievement: results from a longitudinal sample of Americans.

Developmental psychology - 1 Jul 2012

Beaver Kevin M, Wright John Paul, DeLisi Matt, Vaughn Michael G

Abstract excerpt

Although educational attainment has been found to be moderately heritable, research has yet to explore candidate genes for it. Drawing on data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, in the current study, we examined the association between polymorphisms in three dopaminergic genes (DAT1, DRD2, and DRD4), a dopamine index, and educational attainment. Statistically significant effects were found...
