Figure 2. The multivariate GenLang GWAS results show significant genetic correlation with the cortical surface area around the left superior temporal sulcus

Caption

Genetic correlations (rg) were estimated with LDSC. Included traits are 58 structural brain imaging traits from the UK Biobank selected based on known links of regions and circuits with language processing. The results of the 22 cortical surface areas are shown; grey areas were not included in the analysis. *Significant genetic correlation after correcting for 24.85 independent brain imaging traits (p<2.01x10-3). Full results can be found in Dataset S12 and SI Appendix, Fig. S6 and S7.
