Genetic variation associated with differential educational attainment in adults has anticipated associations with school performance in children.
Genome-wide association study results have yielded evidence for the association of common genetic variants with crude measures of completed educational attainment in adults. Whilst informative, these results do not inform as to the mechanism of these effects or their presence at earlier ages and whe...
