Not sure why you're skeptical about this? Almost all the heritability in IQ is due to additive genetic variance; it's surprisingly linear!

Might need a few thousand more SNPs first, but in principle that could be done. But genomic regulatory elements most likely more important.

Can you explain how this information can be beneficial? How would you deploy such knowledge in practice? Truly am confused.

We do basic research because we trust that more accurate models of reality will be more beneficial than inaccurate models.

Effect sizes for SNPs on mental traits are always tiny, for good theoretical reasons (see Keller & Miller 2007 on my website)

What % of these SNP's would be in functional regions of DNA? All or a low % ?
