Exited to see our paper out in @AJHGNews. By meta-analysing evidence from nearly 40k families, we showed robust genetic nurture effects on education cross 12 studies spanning 5 countries: https://t.co/PVZZdRb7HO
Key findings see 👇

Understanding the early origins of educational inequalities and their reproduction across generations is crucial to foster social mobility. Check out the preprint of our meta-analysis of genetic nurture effects on education: https://t.co/kE2ds9LXfN

Genetic nurture, the concept that the parent's genes indirectly influence their children by shaping the environment they provide for them, is almost as important in a child's educational achievement as direct inheritance.

Interesting findings！

Genetic effects associated with education, cognition, ADHD, and smoking have stronger associations with brain structure, while genes for other psychiatric disorders show stronger associations with brain function (N🧬&🧠 = 37k).

6. Observed broad family-level factors such as parental education and SES explained most of genetic nurture effects, shedding light on the environmental pathways genetic nurture may operate through.
