Description
In this Video Abstract Leah Richmond‐Rakerd discusses her paper ‘A polygenic score for age-at-first-birth predicts disinhibition’. A recent genome-wide association study identified molecular-genetic associations with age-at-first-birth. However, the meaning of these genetic discoveries is unclear. Drawing on evidence linking early pregnancy with disinhibitory behaviour, we tested the hypothesis that genetic discoveries for age-at-first-birth predict disinhibition.
