Almost no genes correlating with anything interesting been found. This is totally crushing evidence. If genes were important, Bayesian surprise of this lack of results would be in the land of impossible.
How much work is “interesting” doing in “anything interesting”? They haven’t found genes for breast cancer but they have found them for skin color.
They haven’t found genes for breast cancer but they have found them for skin color.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are both genes where certain forms of them result in breast cancer being more likely, and we have a somewhat well understood mechanism for how they do this.

Actually, they have: see the BRCA genes. (These are also related to the Ashkenazi intelligence theory posted below.)
