The relational genomics of cognitive function: A longitudinal study

Author

Listed:
  • Das, Aniruddha

Abstract

Research in social genetics indicates a person's genome may influence outcomes of those in close relationships. Implications for cognitive function remain unexplored. The current study examined such “metagenomic” patterns among older U.S. couples.
