The study does not point to specific genes linked to literacy or numeracy, but rather suggests that genetic influence on complex traits, like learning abilities, and common disorders, like learning disabilities, is caused by many genes of very small-effect size, he said.
Children differ genetically in how easy or difficult they find learning, and these individual differences need to be recognised and respected, he explained.
Finding such strong genetic influence does not mean that there is nothing we can do if a child finds learning difficult, he added.
Heritability does not imply that anything is set in stone - it just means it may take more effort from parents, schools and teachers to bring the child up to speed.
