Stefansson konsidere ke etid l 'jwenn sèlman yon lyen fèb ant varyant yo jenetik pou maladi mantal ak kreyativite. Epi li se sa a ki syantis lòt ranmase sou. Faktè sa yo jenetik ki ogmante risk pou yo pwoblèm mantal eksplike sèlman sou 0.25% nan varyasyon an nan kapasite atistik pèp ', etid la te jwenn. David Cutler, yon jenetisyen nan Emory University nan Atlanta, mete ladan nimewo nan pèspektiv: "Si distans ki genyen ant m ', moun ki gen pi piti atistik ou yo ale nan satisfè, ak yon atis aktyèl la se yon mil, varyant sa yo parèt devan yo kolektivman eksplike 13 pye nan distans la,"Li te di.

Stefansson concedes that his study found only a weak link between the genetic variants for mental illness and creativity. And it is this that other scientists pick up on. The genetic factors that raise the risk of mental problems explained only about 0.25% of the variation in peoples’ artistic ability, the study found. David Cutler, a geneticist at Emory University in Atlanta, puts that number in perspective: “If the distance between me, the least artistic person you are going to meet, and an actual artist is one mile, these variants appear to collectively explain 13 feet of the distance,” he said.
