Liability to alcohol dependence (AD) is heritable, but little is known about its complex polygenic
architecture or its genetic relationship with other disorders. To discover loci associated …

Background Variation in liability to cannabis use disorder has a strong genetic component (estimated
twin and family heritability about 50–70%) and is associated with negative …

A summary genetic measure, called a “polygenic score,” derived from a genome-wide
association study (GWAS) of education can modestly predict a person’s educational and …

Despite global commitments to achieving gender equality and improving health and wellbeing
for all, quantitative data and methods to precisely estimate the effect of gender norms on …

Understanding the social and biological mechanisms that lead to homogamy (similar individuals
marrying one another) has been a long-standing issue across many fields of scientific …

Little is known about the genetic architecture of traits affecting educational attainment other
than cognitive ability. We used genomic structural equation modeling and prior genome-wide …

Recent studies have begun to uncover the genetic architecture of educational attainment.
We build on this work using genome-wide data from siblings in the National Longitudinal …

Education has faced unprecedented disruption during the COVID-19 pandemic; evidence
about the subsequent effect on children is of crucial importance. We use data from an oral …

There is substantial evidence of the relationship between household income and achievement
on the standardized tests often required for college admissions, yet little comparable …

A recent genome-wide-association study of educational attainment identified three single-nucleotide
