By expanding the dataset of fluid intelligence scores, we show that imputation can reveal biology that would otherwise be missed, especially for rare variant analyses. A general summary & FAQ with accessible explanations are available in the Supplement:

Many of the rare variants influence cognition even in people without a clinical diagnosis. This supports the idea that neurodevelopmental disorder genes often act along a spectrum, and can influence cognitive function below diagnostic thresholds.
