Ringkasan	A genome-wide association study (GWAS) applied to educational research scans millions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the human genome to identify genetic variants statistically associated with educational outcomes such as years of schooling, degree attainment, or cognitive test scores. Large consortia — most prominently the Social Science Genetic Association Consortium — have conducted landmark studies in hundreds of thousands to millions of individuals, establishing GWAS as the principal genomic tool for understanding the heritable architecture of educational phenotypes.	Mendelian randomization is a method for estimating causal effects of exposures on outcomes using genetic variants as instrumental variables. Introduced by George Davey Smith in the 1990s, it exploits Mendel's law of segregation to remove confounding bias. It has become a cornerstone technique in epidemiological causal inference.
