Want to make yourself smarter? It may all start with finding which genes are responsible for intelligence. Researchers led by scientists at the University of Utah’s Brain Institute have discovered that a single gene (STX1A) may account for more than 15% of the variation in IQ among those people with Willliams Syndrome. WS is a developmental disorder that arises when someone is missing 26 genes from their seventh chromosome. Those with WS often have problems with visual and spatial reasoning but are proficient in verbal and musical expression. Scientists hope that the strong correlation between STX1A and intelligence may provide insight into the general population as well. If it does, the gene may give us the means to predict, analyze, and even enhance your IQ.
