Reports an error in" A genome-wide analysis of putative functional and exonic variation associated with extremely high intelligence" by SL Spain, I. I Pedroso, N Kadeva, MB Miller, WG Iacono, M. McGue, E. Stergiakouli, GD Smith, M. Putallaz, D. Lubinski, EL Meaburn, R. Plomin and MA Simpson (Molecular Psychiatry, 2016 [Aug], Vol 21 [8], 1145-1151). In the original article, the eighth author’s name was presented incorrectly. The author’s name should have been listed as G Davey Smith.(The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2017-02594-019). Although individual differences in intelligence (general cognitive ability) are highly heritable, molecular genetic analyses to date have had limited success in identifying specific loci responsible for its heritability. This study is the first to investigate exome variation in individuals of extremely high intelligence. Under the quantitative genetic model …
