Exome sequencing in an admixed isolated population indicates NFXL1 variants confer a risk for specific language impairment.

Exome sequencing in an admixed isolated population indicates NFXL1 variants confer a risk for specific language impairment.

Children affected by Specific Language Impairment (SLI) fail to acquire age appropriate language skills despite adequate intelligence and opportunity. SLI is highly heritable, but the understanding of underlying genetic mechanisms has proved challenging. In this study, we use molecular genetic techn...
