A common variant of the CNTNAP2 gene is associated with structural variation in the left superior occipital gyrus.

Brain and language - 1 Sept 2017

Abstract excerpt

The CNTNAP2 gene encodes a cell-adhesion molecule that influences the properties of neural networks and the morphology and density of neurons and glial cells. Previous studies have shown association of CNTNAP2 variants with language-related phenotypes in health and disease. Here, we report associations of a common CNTNAP2 polymorphism (rs7794745) with variation in grey matter in a region in the dorsal visual...
