Ana Alejandra Espinosa-Mojica; Carmen Varo Varo – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Language studies on populations with rare genetic disorders are limited. Hence, there is little data on commonly found or expected developmental linguistic traits and cognitive mechanisms that may be impaired. Based on the hypothesis that there is a close connection between language and cognition and the relevance of specific genetic…

Hellquist, Anna; Tammimies, Kristiina – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Clinical genetic testing is recommended for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. There are only a few reports of how these recommendations are followed and especially missing for European countries. We aimed to analyze the rate of access, utilization, and awareness of clinical genetic testing among autistic individuals in Sweden…

Elizabeth A. Shewark; Alexandra Y. Vazquez; Amber L. Pearson; Kelly L. Klump; S. Alexandra Burt – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Neighborhood is a key context where children learn to process social information; however, the field has largely overlooked the ways children's individual characteristics might be moderated by neighborhood effects. We examined 1,030 six- to 11-year-olds (48.7% female; 82% White) twin pairs oversampled for neighborhood disadvantage from the Twin…

Toseeb, Umar; Oginni, Olakunle Ayokunmi; Dale, Philip S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
There is considerable variability in the extent to which young people with developmental language disorder (DLD) experience mental health difficulties. What drives these individual differences remains unclear. In the current article, data from the Twin Early Development Study were used to investigate the genetic and environmental influences on…

Ayhan, Aynur Bütün; Beyazit, Utku; Topuz, Senay; Tunay, Çagla Zeynep; Abbas, Maryam Nazhad; Yilmaz, Serkan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
We aimed to examine the opinions of parents' having a child with ASD, on genetic testing, in a Turkish sample. 951 parents' attitudes towards genetic testing were included. 89.1% of the parents did not take a genetic test during pregnancy. 87.6% of the parents agreed to take a genetic test if it could explain the cause of ASDs. 93% agreed to take…

Austerberry, Chloe; Fearon, Pasco; Ronald, Angelica; Leve, Leslie D.; Ganiban, Jody M.; Natsuaki, Misaki N.; Shaw, Daniel S.; Neiderhiser, Jenae M.; Reiss, David – Child Development, 2022
Intellectual performance is highly heritable and robustly predicts lifelong health and success but the earliest manifestations of genetic effects on this asset are not well understood. This study examined whether early executive function (EF) or verbal performance mediate genetic influences on subsequent intellectual performance, in 561 U.S.-based…

Armstrong-Carter, Emma; Trejo, Sam; Hill, Liam J. B.; Crossley, Kirsty L.; Mason, Dan; Domingue, Benjamin W. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Observed genetic associations with educational attainment may be due to direct or indirect genetic influences. Recent work highlights "genetic nurture," the potential effect of parents' genetics on their child's educational outcomes via rearing environments. To date, few mediating childhood environments have been tested. We used a large…

Hendel, Yonah; Meiri, Gal; Flusser, Hagit; Michaelovski, Analya; Dinstein, Ilan; Menashe, Idan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
There is broad consensus about the importance of post-diagnostic genetic testing for children with ASD. However, the extent of compliance with these tests and the factors affecting compliance have rarely been examined. We surveyed a sample of 114 families with a child with ASD in Israel, where such genetic testing is funded by the government. We…

Finkel, Deborah; Davis, Deborah W.; Giangrande, Evan J.; Womack, Sean; Turkheimer, Eric; Beam, Christopher – Child Development, 2022
The current analysis investigates genetic and environmental influences on the bidirectional relationships between temperament and general cognitive ability (GCA). Measures of GCA and three temperament factors (persistence, approach, and reactivity) were collected from 486 children ages 4-9 years (80% white, 50% female) from the Louisville Twin…

Wagner, Kayla E.; McCormick, Jennifer B.; Barns, Sarah; Carney, Molly; Middleton, Frank A.; Hicks, Steven D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Examining community views on genetic/epigenetic research allows collaborative technology development. Parent perspectives toward genetic/epigenetic testing for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are not well-studied. Parents of children with ASD (n = 131), non-ASD developmental delay (n = 39), and typical development (n = 74) completed surveys…

Church, Jessica A.; Grigorenko, Elena L.; Fletcher, Jack M. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2023
To learn to read, the brain must repurpose neural systems for oral language and visual processing to mediate written language. We begin with a description of computational models for how alphabetic written language is processed. Next, we explain the roles of a dorsal sublexical system in the brain that relates print and speech, a ventral lexical…

Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often experience co-occurring emotional problems. ADHD with this comorbidity is associated with poorer outcomes than ADHD without comorbidity. Better understanding of the etiology of comorbidity could improve prevention of negative outcomes for children with ADHD. The sample consisted…

Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder in which genetic factors play key roles. Limited research has been conducted on genetic testing of children with autism spectrum disorder in low middle-income countries. This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the pediatric neurology clinics of three university hospitals in…

Saunders, Gretchen R. B.; Liu, Mengzhen; Vrieze, Scott; McGue, Matt; Iacono, William G. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Parent-child similarity is a function of genetic and environmental transmission. In addition, genetic effects not transmitted to offspring may drive parental behavior, thereby affecting the rearing environment of the child. Measuring genetic proclivity directly, through polygenic risk scores (PRSs), provides a way to test for the effect of…

This study tested implications of new genetic discoveries for understanding the association between parental investment and children's educational attainment. A novel design matched genetic data from 860 British mothers and their children with home-visit measures of parenting: the E-Risk Study. Three findings emerged. First, both mothers' and…
