Any account of “what is special about the human brain”(Passingham 2008) must specify the
neural basis of our unique ability to produce speech and delineate how these remarkable …

Reading and writing are crucial life skills but roughly one in ten children are affected by
dyslexia, which can persist into adulthood. Family studies of dyslexia suggest heritability up …

We created a deeply extracted and annotated database of genome-wide association studies

A universal challenge in genetic studies of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is determining
whether a given DNA sequence alteration will manifest as disease. Among different …

Reading and language abilities are heritable traits that are likely to share some genetic
influences with each other. To identify pleiotropic genetic variants affecting these traits, we …

Based on genomic rearrangements and copy number variations, the contactin-associated
