Largest Genetic Study Confirms Biological Basis of Stuttering

Largest genetic study confirms biological basis of stuttering

The largest genetic analysis of stuttering has demonstrated a clear genetic basis for the speech disorder, highlighting neurological pathways of risk.

Largest genetic study links stuttering to 57 distinct genomic regions

The largest genetic analysis of stuttering has demonstrated a clear genetic basis for the speech disorder, highlighting neurological pathways of risk. The study, published July 28 in the journal Nature Genetics, used data representing more than 1 million individuals who had their DNA analyzed by the company 23andMe Inc.

Genome-wide study makes ‘quantum leap’ in understanding stuttering

Analysis of DNA from 23andMe users points to variants in genes linked to brain function and sense of rhythm

Stuttering's Genomic Signature Identifies 57 Loci and Links to Autism, Depression, and Musical Rhythm

Stuttering affects many people; indeed, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) estimates that stuttering affects approximately 1% of the world’s population (including about three million Americans). Although the causes behind stuttering remain unknown, family history and differences in neurological processes are frequently raised as leading factors. Now, the largest genetic analysis of stuttering to date has demonstrated a clear…

Large-scale study defines genetic architecture of stuttering - Scientific Inquirer

The largest genetic analysis of stuttering has demonstrated a clear genetic basis for the speech disorder, highlighting neurological pathways of risk. The study, published July 28 in the journal Nature Genetics, used data representing more than 1 million individuals who had their DNA analyzed by the company 23andMe Inc.  The findings point to 57 distinct genomic loci associated with stuttering and suggest a shared genetic architecture of stutter…
