A number of candidate genes for reading and language impairment have been replicated,
primarily in samples of children with developmental disability or delay, although these genes …

Dyslexia is a common specific learning disability with a substantive genetic component.
Several candidate genes have been proposed to be implicated in dyslexia susceptibility …

Reading and language abilities are critical for educational achievement and success in
adulthood. Variation in these traits is highly heritable, but the underlying genetic architecture …

It is estimated that up to 70% of the risk of developing dyslexia and of the variability in
