Abstract:
:A number of genes underlie the molecular bases of intelligence. Among these is probably CALL, a novel member of the L1 gene family of neural cell adhesion molecules. By using the single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) protocol, we screened the regions of the CALL gene corresponding to the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of the CALL mRNA, searching for polymorphisms that could be useful in association studies in the field of intelligence. We report the finding of T-to-A and T-to-C single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 3' UTR of CALL. These SNPs have an index of heterozygosity of 0.13 and 0.10, respectively. Research is in progress to understand the association between these variants and high IQ.
