What people are saying
Discussions highlight various aspects of the research, including methodologies and the implications of genetic factors on educational attainment. For instance, users express concern about the potential misapplication of such genetic information, reflecting on phrases like 'scary this tech/information can be' and 'inevitably will be used,' which convey apprehension about the ethical ramifications of the findings.
Many discussions express a general support for the findings regarding the polygenic prediction of educational attainment, although some show skepticism regarding the implications.
A majority of posts demonstrate a high level of curiosity about the subject, indicating that it resonates with both experts and laypersons.
While some posts engage with the research details, others merely share or comment without deep analysis, suggesting moderate engagement.
The perception of the study's impact is mixed, with some acknowledging potential benefits while others raise concerns about misuse.
Abstract in brief
- Conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on educational attainment (EA) with a sample size of ~3 million, discovering 3,952 significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
- Developed a polygenic index (PGI) that explains 12-16% of the variance in EA and is associated with disease risk prediction.
- Found that direct effects account for about half of the PGI's association with EA, and also noted a significantly high correlation between mate-pair PGIs, indicating additional factors influencing mating choice.

@AAMortazavi Same! Interesting company, will have to check em out. The issue I have is how scary this tech/information can be if used nefariously. And it inevitably will be used. Things like this (https://t.co/nXbSGHwzap) disgust me and I hate to think that I contribute to it
