Linkage of speech sound disorder to reading disability loci
Article Abstract:
A study tested the hypothesis that speech sound disorder (SSD) is linked to replicated reading disability (RD) loci, a hypothesis based on converging evidence from an association between SSD and RD at the symptom, cognitive, and etiological levels of analysis. The findings reveal evidence for replication of linkage of SSD phenotypes to RD candidate regions on chromosome 6p22 and 15p21, with suggestive results for chromosome 1p36.
