Genome-wide screening for DNA variants associated with reading and language traits

TL;DR: The CCDC136/FLNC locus showed association with a comparable reading/language measure in an independent sample of 6434 participants from the general population, although involving distinct alleles of the associated SNP.

Development and validation of language and visuospatial composite scores in ADNI.

TL;DR: This article used item response theory to derive composite measures for language and visuospatial functioning from the cognitive battery administered in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), and evaluated the scores among groups of people with normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease in terms of responsiveness to change, association with imaging findings, and ability to differentiate between MCI participants who progressed to AD dementia and those who did not progress.

Genomics of speech and language disorders

TL;DR: For instance, the authors showed that there are multiple factors involved in speech and language development, such as genetic factors such as hereditary or de novo mutations may be responsible for their development, and there may be co-morbidity with other communication disorders or develop phenotypes unrelated to communication.

Multi-scale semi-supervised clustering of brain images: Deriving disease subtypes

TL;DR: MAGIC as mentioned in this paper is a semi-supervised clustering method for brain disease heterogeneity that uses a double-cyclic optimization procedure to identify inter-scale-consistent disease subtypes.

PLINK: A Tool Set for Whole-Genome Association and Population-Based Linkage Analyses

TL;DR: This work introduces PLINK, an open-source C/C++ WGAS tool set, and describes the five main domains of function: data management, summary statistics, population stratification, association analysis, and identity-by-descent estimation, which focuses on the estimation and use of identity- by-state and identity/descent information in the context of population-based whole-genome studies.

Statistical parametric maps in functional imaging: A general linear approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general approach that accommodates most forms of experimental layout and ensuing analysis (designed experiments with fixed effects for factors, covariates and interaction of factors).

Automated Talairach Atlas labels for functional brain mapping

TL;DR: When used in concert with authors' deeper knowledge of an experiment, the TD system provides consistent and comprehensive labels for brain activation foci, which is better than that of the expert group.

LocusZoom: regional visualization of genome-wide association scan results

TL;DR: LocusZoom is a web-based plotting tool that provides fast visual display of GWAS results in a publication-ready format that visually displays regional information such as the strength and extent of the association signal relative to genomic position, local linkage disequilibrium (LD) and recombination patterns and the positions of genes in the region.
