polygenic

Strong evidence for polygenic and SNP heritability is shown from Plomin & von Stumm's 2018 research, showing how polygenic scores predict general intelligence.

The only thing missing is that the genome-wide polygenic score (GPS) for intelligence has yet to be discovered.

Ours is monogenic, but as polygenic prediction improves their chances will improve too.

The scientific consensus is that intelligence is a highly polygenic and heritable trait, with genetic factors accounting for 50%-80% of the variations in intelligence.

Because it looks at single genes, while most traits are polygenic.

These signals are all highly polygenic, and we have to drop 449–1,056 loci for the signals to become non-significant(Extended Data Fig.10).

Simply put, mood disorders appear to be a polygenic, multifactorial disease with diverse underlying genetic vulnerabilities leading to greater risk from life stresses than some other people undergo.

So, it seems to follow that one could take a bunch of fertilized embryos, measure the genome-wide polygenic score (GPS) of each embryo, then select only the best one.

Note that I'm not advocating for nebulous polygenic risk scores and especially not for selecting aesthetic traits but simple genetic screening for known genetic diseases.

I'm sure you've read Gwern's essay on polygenic trait inheritance.

The writeup then goes into polygenic embryo screening, which then jumps to improving IQ by selecting embryos, which gets to their final argument which is that it's easier to collect more eggs when younger.

There is no one "genetic code" for genius - this is polygenic.

There is a graph arguing “intelligence” has been positively selected in west Eurasian population in this paper according to a polygenic score (page 8 fig.

The issue isn't that it's impossible for their to be a causal genetic mechanism behind highly polygenic behavioral traits; whether you call that "filtering" or not doesn't change anything.

Polygenic scores predicted a range of related outcomes in the Australian dataset.
