Genome-wide association studies establish that human intelligence is highly heritable and polygenic
General intelligence is an important human quantitative trait that accounts for much of the
variation in diverse cognitive abilities. Individual differences in intelligence are strongly …

Genomic analysis of family data reveals additional genetic effects on intelligence and personality
Pedigree-based analyses of intelligence have reported that genetic differences account for
50–80% of the phenotypic variation. For personality traits these effects are smaller, with 34 …

A general dimension of genetic sharing across diverse cognitive traits inferred from molecular data
It has been known since 1904 that, in humans, diverse cognitive traits are positively
intercorrelated. This forms the basis for the general factor of intelligence (g). Here, we …
