The level of education that everyone will achieve in his life, then the years and qualifications obtained, also depends on his own genetic heritage
This is suggested by an international study conducted by Aysu Okbay of Vrije University of Amsterdam, Peter Visscher of the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia and Daniel Benjamin, of the University of Southern California on the genetic data of more than one million individuals in 15 countries and published in the journal Nature Genetics.
With information on the level of education of the sample, researchers from different countries of the world isolated more than 1,200 genes that together could account for 11-13% of individual variability in the level of education.
The researchers also developed a polygenic score that theoretically can be used to "predict" the level of education based on the DNA of an individual. [19659002] But researchers point out that this type of measure will only be used for scientific research purposes and that in real life, the determinants of educational attainment are multiple and complex (family income, motivation and motivation). individual commitment, parental education, etc.) and genes alone can not determine who will study for a long time and who will stop at lower levels
