Curr Biol. 2016 Nov 21;26(22):R1194-R1196. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2016.09.064.

Abstract

A genome-wide association study of neighborhood characteristics and family income finds heritability, identifies single nucleotide polymorphisms and shows genetic correlates of these traits with numerous other health and cognitive traits. Different mechanisms behind genetic correlations imply different interpretations of association and causality.
