Brief summary
A study of the relation between genetic biomarkers and child language development in Taiwan.
Detailed description
The interaction between gene and environment (G×E) can be a very complicated process that influences child development. As a pilot study of child development biomarkers, this study investigates genes related to child language development and language disorder.
Interventions
GENETICThe research does not require interventions
We use Whole-exome sequence (WES) to analyze if there is any gene mutations for DLD(developmental language disorder) children.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gene test 2 | baseline | Whole-Exome Sequencing (Use Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) 85, Samtools86, Picard, Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK) to screen out the variant discovery and genotyping.) |
| Scores of language function 1 | baseline | Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (Scores from 0 to 124, higher scores mean a better outcome.) |
| Scores of language function 2 | baseline | Preschool Language Impaired Scale(PLS)/Language Impaired Scale(LS) (PLS: Scores from 0 to 65, higher scores mean a better outcome. LS: Scores from 0 to 73, higher scores mean a better outcome.) |
| Scores of general development | baseline | Comprehensive Developmental Inventory for Infants and Toddlers (Higher scores mean a better outcome.) Applied for children aged 3-71 months. Assessing areas: Cognition, language, motor, social, and self-care skills. Every item is scored 0 or 1, indicating whether the child 'fails' or 'passess' that item. |
| Gene test 1 | baseline | Microarray (Use Axiom Genome-Wide TWB 2.0 Array Plate (TWB 2.0) to analyze SNPs of disease-related biomarkers.) |
| Scores of cognitive function 1 | baseline | Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (Scores from 0 to 140, higher scores mean a better outcome.) |
| Scores of cognitive function (2 y/o to 6 y/o) | baseline | Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (Scores from 0 to 200, higher scores mean a better outcome.) |
| Scores of cognitive function (6 y/o to 16 y/o) | baseline | Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Scores from 0 to 200, higher scores mean a better outcome.) |
| Scores of cognitive function 3 | baseline | Test of Nonverbal Intelligence-Fourth Edition (Scores from 0 to 60, higher scores mean a better outcome.) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Scores of participation(>6 y/o) | baseline | Children Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment and Preferences for Activity of Children (Higher scores mean a better outcome.) |
| Scores of activities | baseline | Functional Independence Measure for Children (Scores from 18 to 126, higher scores mean a better outcome.) |
| Scores of quality of life | baseline | Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory TM (Scores from 0 to 102, higher scores mean a better outcome.) |
| Scores of participation(2-5 y/o) | baseline | Assessment of Preschool Children's Participation (Scores from 0 to 45, higher scores mean a better outcome.) |
