Are People With SS Genotype Known To Be Intelligent? by fulli16(m): 8:51am On Oct 27, 2019 |
Good morning nairalanders, I was having a conversation with a friend when this issue came up, she said she had heard from several sources that people with the SS gene are known to be Intelligent. For me, I haven't heard about it and I thought I'd bring this matter forward to the experts. Is there any correlation between the SS gene and intelligence? Is there any scientific or conventional rationale to this theory? |

No such correlation. Brain and blood group are not even in the same place 4 Likes |

Having the SS genotype, some societies give you the impression that you are on the brink of death. This could make you think fast and deep about life and hence enhance your reasoning faculty. Although this may have no direct bearing on intelligence per-say 5 Likes 1 Share |

There is no significant relationship between brilliance and genotype it is a false fallacy many had swallowed for long.in a Similar vein, many Nigerians have this believe that lefthand persons are brilliant however I have seen many dull lefthand. When a phenomenon moves towards a direction people tend to stereotype and believe certain things without thinking. This logic can be likened to where certain tribes are involved in scandalous act. People tend to stereotype them to be evil whereas there are exceptions. Many Nigerians tend to turn blind to those exceptions because they want to follow the crowd 2 Likes |

No but it confers resistance to malaria which is why the gene is so popular around this area When malaria goes, sickle cell will go |

I believe any child can be intelligent (every child is a genius-Albert Einstein) and because they rarely have friends to play with unlike other children, some of them do invest their time in reading their books. So, they outsmart their mates. The same goes to some lefthanded children. To avoid being laughed at, they invest their time and energy on something else. 1 Like |

fulli16: They get it worse than AA but being a carrier, AS is protective against it The abnormal protein in their blood cells doesnt allow the malaria parasite to thrive as easily as in normal people So in areas with high malaria, carriers of the defective allele (AS) are more likely to survive. Thats why the gene is common around here Its called "selective pressure" 1 Like |

midnighter:Ignorance is bliss, please stop spreading wrong info as people with SS should be very wary of malaria as they are more susceptible to it and can easily die from it. The only group that has some level of immunity are AS. Please be advised. https://informationparlour.com/best-strongest-symptoms-characteristics-benefits-cons-genotype-malaria |
