I'm not against GWAS. I love papers that are informative and not just a grocery list of associations. So far my favourite is SSGAC's EA3 GWAS. When you read the paper, you can easily tell that the authors know what they're talking about. https://t.co/UWeH

@bathwin @drjulie_b https://t.co/7i9PlAfi3I Only 7~10% of this heritability is due to the genome.

@bathwin @drjulie_b Heritability doesn't mean genetic. The environment here includes education, effect of wealth, nutrition, even the mother's nutrition. When you look at what the genome really explains, it's much lower : https://t.co/7i9PlzXHca

@davecurtis314 You argue is that it would be hard and slow, that environment matters more, and that we can't identify the relevant genes. But hard and slow doesn't mean not possible. And it seems like you're overstating the case regarding finding the gene

@BakerFlan @Rongwrong_ @DialecticalA Yes. Table 13 of Lee et al.https://t.co/oxW86ek478 top 226 SNPs for cognitive ability have mean absolute effect size of 0.02 and only 30 are over 0.03. Those SNPs alone explain hardly any variance (~2% or less normally)
