Key insights (2):
➡️ Key language connectivity genes include EPHA3, PLCE1 and INPP5A
➡️ Brain traits relate to language-related polygenic scores
➡️ We observe genetic enrichment for evolutionary relevant loci
➡️ Exome provides additional insight into brain connectivity

Key insights (1):
➡️ Gene mapping is associative in nature
➡️ Neuroimaging is an informative intermediate for language
➡️ Different brain traits both yield different genetics and converge
