6/11 Negative control analyses of a polygenic index of height with educational attainment and height indicate that this G x E interaction is specific to the educational domain.

5/11 Since German reunification denotes a single timepoint historical event, it can be considered a historically bound categorical version of birth year. Thus, we show that this G x E interaction is replicated using a birth year variable rather than German reunification.

4/11 We found that the magnitude of polygenic associations with educational attainment did not differ between East and West Germany before reunification but increased in East Germany thereafter.

🚨📜 Debut publication alert!

Do genetics influence education differently across state borders? 🧬📚 We tested differences in genetic associations with education in East and West 🇩🇪 around reunification!

We find that polygenic associations with educational attainment were significantly stronger among East, but not West, Germans after but not before reunification

Excited to share my first PhD publication at #MPRGBiosocial together with Laurel Raffington ! 🚨📜

🧬📚 We examined geographical and historical differences in polygenic associations with educational attainment in East and West Germany around reunification🧬🏛️
