The results indicated that COMT Val158Met polymorphism is associated with academic performance. These findings provide evidence that affective factors might overwhelm cognitive abilities in high-stake tests.Examining for association between candidate gene polymorphisms in the dopamine pathway and academic achievement in a Chinese cohort
