  Absence of Replication for the Myosin 18b Relationship with Numerical Capacity in Free Companions
  Author(s): Alice Burnett*
  
  The association between myosin-18B and mathematical ability has been the subject of considerable scientific interest in recent years. Initial studies reported a positive correlation between certain genetic variants of myosin-18B and enhanced mathematical skills. However, the validity of this association has come into question due to a lack of replication in independent cohorts. Subsequent attempts to replicate the findings in different populations or cohorts have yielded inconsistent and conflicting results. Several independent studies have failed to observe a significant association between myosin-18B and mathematical ability. These studies involved diverse populations, ranging from different ethnicities to individuals with distinct socio-economic backgrounds. The lack of replication for the myosin-18B association with mathematical ability raises concerns abou.. Read More»
