Associations between common genetic variants and income provide insights about the socio-economic health gradient
Open AccessHyeokmoon Kweon, Casper A P Burik et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2025Cited by: 2References: 54
We conducted a genome-wide association study on income among individuals of European descent ( N = 668,288) to investigate the relationship between socio-economic status and health disparities. We identified 162 genomic loci associated with a common genetic factor underlying various income measures, all with small effect sizes (the Income Factor). Our polygenic index captures 1–5% of income variance, with only one fourth due to direct genetic eff…

Polygenic prediction of educational attainment within and between families from genome-wide association analyses in 3 million individuals
Open AccessAysu Okbay, Yeda Wu et al.ARTICLENature Genetics2022
We conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment (EA) in a sample of ~3 million individuals and identify 3,952 approximately uncorrelated genome-wide-significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A genome-wide polygenic predictor, or polygenic index (PGI), explains 12–16% of EA variance and contributes to risk prediction for ten diseases. Direct effects (i.e., controlling for parental PGIs) explain roughly half th…

Large-scale GWAS reveals insights into the genetic architecture of same-sex sexual behavior
Open AccessAndrea Ganna, Karin J H Verweij et al.ARTICLEScience2019
The genetics of sexual orientation Twin studies and other analyses of inheritance of sexual orientation in humans has indicated that same-sex sexual behavior has a genetic component. Previous searches for the specific genes involved have been underpowered and thus unable to detect genetic signals. Ganna et al. perform a genome-wide association study on 493,001 participants from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Sweden to study genes asso…
Associations between loneliness and personality are mostly driven by a genetic association with Neuroticism
Open AccessAbdel Abdellaoui, Hsi‐Yuan Chen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2019
Objective Loneliness is an aversive response to a discrepancy between desired and actual social relationships and correlates with personality. We investigate the relationship of loneliness and personality in twin family and molecular genetic data. Method Phenotypic correlations between loneliness and the Big Five personality traits were estimated in 29,625 adults, and in a group with genome‐wide genotype data ( N = 4,222), genetic correlations we…

GWAS of 126,559 Individuals Identifies Genetic Variants Associated with Educational Attainment
Open AccessCornelius A Rietveld, Sarah E Medland et al.ARTICLEScience2013
Genetic College Many genomic elements in humans are associated with behavior, including educational attainment. In a genome-wide association study including more than 100,000 samples, Rietveld et al. (p. 1467 , published online 30 May; see the Perspective by Flint and Munafò ) looked for genes related to educational attainment in Caucasians. Small genetic effects at three loci appeared to impact educational attainment.
