Abstract excerpt
Purpose Specific language impairment (SLI) is characterized by a delay in language acquisition despite a lack of other developmental delays or hearing loss. Genetics of SLI is poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to identify SLI genetic loci through family-based linkage mapping. Method We performed genome-wide parametric linkage analysis in six families segregating with SLI. An age-appropriate...
