Spencer Wells and Razib Khan interview James Lee (Professor of Psychology, University of Minnesota, BA Berkeley, PhD Harvard) about the recent SSGAC EA3 GWAS.
Comment: James mentions that EA3 may be approaching the GCTA h2 limit (~0.15? so limiting r ~ 0.4) already. But the limit for actual cognitive ability is much higher; with enough data I think we could get to r ~ 0.6 or even r ~ 0.7 eventually for common SNPs -- similar to height.
