Pathways between a polygenic index for education and years of completed schooling: the presentation of self and assessment of others.

Biodemography and social biology - 1 Jan 2000

Boardman Jason D, Harris Kathleen Mullan, Finch Brian Karl

Abstract excerpt

Polygenic scores (PGS) are broadly misconstrued as reflecting direct causal genetic effects on their respective phenotypes. While this assumption might be accurate for some anthropometric traits like height, more complex traits such as educational attainment show very large indirect effects that stem from many sources. One unexplored source of confounding is the possibility of evocative gene-environment...
