Author Correction: Study of 300,486 individuals identifies 148 independent genetic loci
influencing general cognitive function | Nature Communications Skip to main content Thank …

Twin and genomic studies indicate that genes play an important role in the development of
cognitive ability. However, data limitations have made it difficult to pinpoint specific genes …

One surprising feature of the recently completed waves of genome-wide association studies
is the limited impact of common genetic variation in individually detectable polymorphisms …

Objective: Human cognition has long been known to be under substantial genetic control.
With the complete mapping of the human genome, genome-wide association studies for …

Differences in general cognitive function have been shown to be partly heritable and to
show genetic correlations with several psychiatric and physical disease states. However, to …

All measures of cognitive processes correlate moderately at the phenotypic level and
correlate substantially at the genetic level. General cognitive ability (g) refers to what diverse …

Inbreeding depression refers to lower fitness among offspring of genetic relatives. This
reduced fitness is caused by the inheritance of two identical chromosomal segments …

The last decade has seen the development of large‐scale genetics studies which have
advanced our understanding of the genetic architecture of many complex heritable traits. In …

General cognitive function is a prominent and relatively stable human trait that is associated
with many important life outcomes. We combine cognitive and genetic data from the …

Dissecting the genetics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) has
contributed significantly to our understanding of the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration in …
