if there's any place we'd see IQ genes with large positive effects wouldn't looking at exceptionally bright kids of average families be a good place to look? obviously probably just high 'dose' of 'good' genes but possible @KirkegaardEmil @gwern

something I've sent to gwern already but you might not have seen: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5729280/ … "We find that the number of repeats in HTT, below disease threshold, confers advantageous changes in brain structure and general intelligence (IQ):"
Interesting. Does not fit with Jewish IQ selection from my quick googling. However, we should be able to calculate DUF1220 rates by population using public WGS datasets. If they align with group IQs, would be interesting evidence.
