Ultra-rare disruptive and damaging mutations influence educational attainment in the general population

Ultra-rare disruptive and damaging mutations influence educational attainment in the general population

Disruptive and damaging ultra-rare variants (URVs) in highly constrained (HC) genes are enriched in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. In the general population, this class of variants was associated with a decrease in years of education (YOE; −3.1 months; P-value=3.3×10−8). This effect...
