Alta prevalencia de trastorno específico de lenguaje en isla Robinson Crusoe y probable efecto fundador
Specific language impairment (SLI) occurs in 2% to 8% of preschool children. Major and candidate genes are probably involved. Genetic drift is a cause for the presence of high frequencies of deleterious alíeles of a specific disease and the founder effect is one of its forms. Robinson Crusoe Island...
