More Research Needed: There is a Robust Causal vs. Confounding Problem for Intelligence-associated Polygenic Scores in Context to Admixed American Populations.

Bryan J. Pesta, John G. R. Fuerst, Davide Piffer, Emil O. W. Kirkegaard

The paper investigates whether correlations between polygenic scores for intelligence, genetic ancestry, and cognitive ability in admixed American populations are causal or due to confounding.
