GenetIQ
Browsing the current literature about Genes, we came across SNPedia, which is a wiki investigating human genetics. There, you can find information about the effects of variations in DNA, citing peer-reviewed scientific publications.
Searching for IntelliGenes*, Genes associated with high intellectual performance, current scientific works point to the SNAP25 gene, which encodes a presynaptic terminal protein, primarily expressed in the brain. You can also visit the relevant SNPedia page (external link, opens in new tab).
In a more detailed search, we detected the following chromosome positions currently being related to intelligence:
