All these problems with predictive validity can be fixed with getting larger samples from all the other ethnic groups right? The UK biobank obviously has mostly white British samples. If you want to do a study on East Asians, you should be trying to do this using the Singapore or Taiwan biobank. They're not as open about sharing this data, so will have to cooperate with local researchers.

Yes, but that won't happen anytime soon. GWASs are mostly European, and no one has even done a trans-ethnic GWAS on education yet. I don't have any way to apply for those Asian datasets.
