Cognitive Endophenotypes of Modern and Extinct Hominins Associated with <i>NTNG</i> Gene Paralogs

2015-12-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> A pair of vertebrate-specific and brain-expressed pre-synaptic genes, NTNG1 and NTNG2, contributes to the Intellectual Quotient (IQ) test scores in a complementary manner. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of NTNG1 are associated with attenuated verbal comprehension (VC) or processing speed (PS) while NTNG2 SNPs affect working memory (WM) and perceptual organization (PO), forming cognit...
