the researchers note that the sister raised in the US had suffered three previous concussions

+

the twin raised in Korea described growing up in a loving and harmonious family home, the adopted sister reported a harsher upbringing, colored by regular conflict and the divorce of her adoptive parents

It does seem as if there would be explanations for the unusual difference.

Right, this assertion is invalidated and agenda-driven.

It’s invalidated because multiple concussions would probably damage the brain and reasonably lower IQ. Also, the potential abuse that was hinted at would of course potentially affect IQ as well. It’s agenda-driven because it trivializes all of the above in order to push what seems to be an anti-USA agenda.
