Abstract
Stuttering is a common neurologic disorder in children that can persist into adulthood. Although stuttering displays high heritability, Mendelian segregation typically does not occur, and linkage studies have produced limited success. A genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) linkage scan in a consanguineous Pakistani family followed by targeting genotyping using microsatellite markers revealed linkage on chromosome 16q. The highest linkage scores were obtained under a modified recessive model of inheritance, with a maximum multipoint LOD score of 4.42 at marker D16S3043.
