The article states that the familial aggregation for that has been established, with first-degree relatives affected with these disorders. Analyses have also confirmed familial aggregation of SSD and supported both major gene and polygenic modes of transmission of the disorder. Reading about the study I have learn that employing sibling pairs have suggested possible chromosomal regions involved in SSD. However, the article does state that most of these studies have relied on historical reports of disorders rather than direct testing. Many of these studies, moreover, have examined a broad speech and language phenotype that includes both individuals with isolated SSD and those with mixed speech sound and language disorders. In my reading I have find out, there were 147 parents of children with SSD (58 fathers and 89 mothers) who were directly tested and interviewed for family history of disorders. Any information regarding enrollment in therapy and remedial classes was requested, reading disorders, and spelling disorders was determined through these parent interviews.
