  1. Genome-wide association study of persistent developmental stuttering

    Kraft, Shelly JoUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2010

    A genome-wide association study (GWAS) is an approach that involves scanning markers across complete sets of DNA, or genomes, of many people to indentify genetic variations associated with a particular disease. A GWAS uses unrelated individuals, and for the purposes of this study, only those who …
