I teach behavioral genetics to undergraduate psychology students and I was struck by the genetic findings for SLI. They seem more specific and well-replicated than for many other phenotypes; for which we know that although there is considerable genetic variance the current state of our replicated findings is poor. I would love to hear other of results others find convincing and compelling for phenotypes of interest to psychology students.
Dear Dr Zohar
Can you please share a review or key publication list on the genetics of SLI.
I do not know whether this relates to your question but there is an increasing number of mutations reported for intellectual disability in literature.
I am an assistant structure at the human biology class. One of the papers we discuss is about the association of novelty seeking and genetic variation at the dopamine receptor 4. You might find it at, http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/v12/n1/abs/ng0196-78.html ... there are also associations of variation at the regulatory region of the V1aR and dance performance http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1239939/, and human pairbonding http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2533683/pdf/zpq14153.pdf
