Associations between common genetic variants and income provide insights about the socioeconomic health gradient

2024-01-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on income among individuals of European descent and leveraged the results to investigate the socio-economic health gradient (<italic>N</italic>=668,288). We found 162 genomic loci associated with a common genetic factor underlying various income measures, all with small effect sizes. Our GWAS-derived polygenic index captures 1 - 4% of...
