Can education be personalised using pupils' genetic data?

eLife - 10 Mar 2020

Morris Tim T, Davies Neil M, Davey Smith George

Abstract excerpt

The increasing predictive power of polygenic scores for education has led to their promotion by some as a potential tool for genetically informed policy. How accurately polygenic scores predict an individual pupil's educational performance conditional on other phenotypic data is however not well understood. Using data from a UK cohort study with data linkage to national schooling records, we investigated how...
