Replications

Using polygenic scores to assess liability to antisocial behavior, Kazantseva et al. (2025). Outcome recorded: mixed. PGS alone explained a small proportion of variance in liability to ASB (1.1–1.5 %), while the inclusion of social parameters increased variance explained (16.2–21.2 %). View paper
