篇章：影响数学与阅读能力的基因相同

　　The same genes drive maths and reading ability, research suggests.

　　研究发现，影响数学与阅读能力的基因是相同的。

　　Around half of the genes that influence a child s aptitude for reading also play a role in how easily they learn maths, say scientists.

　　The study of 12-year-old British twins from 3,000 families, reported in Nature Communications, adds to the debate about the role of genes in education.

　　An education expert said the work had little relevance for public policy as specific genes had not been identified.

　　Past research suggests both nature and nurture have a similar impact on how children perform in exams.

　　One study found genes explained almost 60% of the variation in GCSE exam results.

　　However, little is known about which genes are involved and how they interact.

　　Not set in stone

　　The new research suggests a substantial overlap between the genetic variations that influence mathematics and reading, say scientists from UCL, the University of Oxford and King s College London.

　　But non-genetic factors - such as parents, schools and teachers - are also important, said Prof Robert Plomin of King s College London, who worked on the study.
