Abstract excerpt

Although educational attainment is heritable, years-of-education (EduYears) measures are not designed to show how genetic associations vary across discrete educational milestones. In the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa; N = 120,527) and the Norwegian Twin Registry (N = 8,910), we combined genome-wide association studies (GWAS), polygenic indices (PGIs), and twin models to characterize...
