Genome-wide association study of musical beat synchronization demonstrates high polygenicity

2019-11-09

Abstract excerpt

Moving in synchrony to the beat is a fundamental component of musicality. Here, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify common genetic variants associated with beat synchronization in 606,825 individuals. Beat synchronization exhibited a highly polygenic architecture, with sixty-nine loci reaching genome-wide significance (p<5×10 −8 ) and SNP-based heritability (on the liability scale) of...
