Human Handedness: Genetics, Microtubules, Neuropsychiatric Diseases and Brain Language Areas

2018-10-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The skew in distribution of handedness is a uniquely human trait, and has fascinated researchers for centuries. The heritability of handedness is estimated at 25%, but defining genetic variants contributing to this trait has so far proved elusive. <h4>Methods</h4> We performed GWAS of self-reported handedness in UK Biobank, a prospective cohort study of ∼500,000 individuals. Furthermore, we i...
