Dyslexia (reading and spelling disability) is one of the most frequently diagnosed disorders
in childhood. Twin studies of dyslexia have indicated that deficits in spelling are substantially …

Linkage between developmental dyslexia (DD) and chromosome 6p has been replicated in
a number of independent samples. Recent attempts to identify the gene responsible for the …

Dyslexia is one of the most prevalent childhood cognitive disorders, affecting∼ 5% of school-
age children. We have recently identified a risk haplotype associated with dyslexia on …

Six extended dyslexic families with at least four affected individuals were genotyped with
markers in three chromosomal regions: 6p23-p21. 3, 15pter-qter, and 16pter-qter. Five …

Dyslexia is the most common childhood learning disorder and it is a significantly heritable
trait. At least nine chromosomal loci have been linked to dyslexia, and additional …

The DYX2 locus on chromosome 6p22. 2 is the most replicated region of linkage to
developmental dyslexia (DD). Two candidate genes within this region have recently been …

A locus on chromosome 2p12-16 has been implicated in dyslexia susceptibility by two
independent linkage studies, including our own study of 119 nuclear twin-based families …

Dyslexia is a common heterogeneous disorder with a significant genetic component.
Multiple studies have replicated the evidence for linkage between variously defined …

A linkage study of 96 dyslexia families containing at least two affected siblings (totaling 877
individuals) has found evidence for a dyslexia susceptibility gene on chromosome 6q11. 2 …

Objective.—There is strong evidence that developmental dyslexia is both familial and
heritable, but the mode of genetic transmission has remained unclear. In this article, we …
