The current thesis focused on imaging genetics of specific reading disability (SRD), to better
understand the biological risk factors that contribute to SRD. Part 1 of the thesis was a …

The imaging genetics of specific reading disabilities (SRD) is an emerging field that aims to
characterize the disabilities' neurobiological causes, including atypical brain structure and …

Specific reading disability (SRD) is defined by genetic and neural risk factors that are not
fully understood. The current study used imaging genetics methodology to investigate …

Imaging and genetic studies have characterized biological risk factors contributing to
specific reading disability (SRD). The current study aimed to apply this literature to a family …

Reading disorders (RD) are human‐specific neuropsychological conditions associated with
decoding printed words and/or reading comprehension. So far only a handful of candidate …

Although a breadth of research has been conducted on Reading Disabilities (RD), the
genes, molecular mechanisms, and cell types involved in its etiology remain to be …

Reading skills and developmental dyslexia, characterized by difficulties in developing
reading skills, have been associated with brain anomalies within the language network …

Dyslexia is a common heritable developmental disorder involving impaired reading abilities.
Its genetic underpinnings are thought to be complex and heterogeneous, involving common …

Neuroimaging studies implicate multiple cortical regions in reading ability/disability.
However, the neural cell types integral to the reading process are unknown. To contribute to …

Dyslexia is a common pediatric disorder that affects 5–17% of schoolchildren in the United
