Abstract
⺠COMT gene can influence cognitive function in developmental stage specific manner. ⺠A large UK population-based sample with cognition measured at ages 8 and 15 years was used. ⺠Five functional COMT SNPs were tested for association with cognition. ⺠COMT rs737865 showed association with reading comprehension, verbal ability and global cognition at age 15 years in pubescent boys only. ⺠Further studies are necessary in order to make stronger conclusions.
