Rare genetic variants linked to lower cognitive test scores in expanded analysis
The largest genetic study of cognition to date has been published, involving nearly half a million people of European ancestry.
AI Summary
The study, described as the largest genetic analysis of cognition to date, examined nearly 500,000 individuals of European ancestry. Researchers identified rare genetic variants that are associated with lower performance on cognitive tests. The findings offer a new perspective on the genetic factors that drive cognitive variation. investigators suggest the results could improve understanding of health conditions such as neurodevelopmental disorders.
