Whole Genome Sequencing Illuminates the Developmental Signatures of Human Language Ability

2021-11-24

Abstract excerpt

1 Language is the foundation of human social interaction, education, commerce, and mental health. The heritability underlying language is well-established, but our understanding of its genetic basis — and how it compares to that of more general cognitive functioning— remains unclear. To illuminate the language-specific contributions of rare and common variation, we performed whole genome sequencing in N=350 indivi...
