Heritability is a measure of how well differences in people's genes account for differences in their traits. ... Many disorders that are caused by mutations in single genes, such as phenylketonuria (PKU), have high heritability

These studies suggest that genetic factors underlie about 50 percent of the difference in intelligence among individuals. ... It is likely that a large number of genes are involved, each of which makes only a small contribution to a person's intelligence. Intelligence is also strongly influenced by the environment

Intelligence is also strongly influenced by the environment. Factors related to a child's home environment and parenting, education and availability of learning resources, and nutrition, among others, all contribute to intelligence.
