Identification of genetic/genomic factors involved in giftedness.

The aim of the project is to initiate and perform state of the art molecular genetics/genomics research on giftedness in children starting from the large and unique population collected by CBO. The milestones of this project are:¿ Construction of a bio bank for giftedness research¿ Identification of candidate genes for giftedness using a SNP based whole genome association approach¿ Determination of the involvement of copy number variations (CNVs) in the etiology of giftedness
