Dyslexia is one of the most common childhood disorders with a prevalence of around 5–
10% in school-age children. Although an important genetic component is known to have a …

Abstract Four genes, DYX1C1, ROBO1, DCDC2 and KIAA0319 have been studied both
genetically and functionally as candidate genes for developmental dyslexia, a common …

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

We applied a family-based association approach to investigate the role of the DYX1C1 gene
on chromosome 15q as a candidate gene for developmental dyslexia (DD) to 158 families …

Developmental dyslexia (DD) is characterized by difficulties in reading and spelling
independent of intelligence, educational backgrounds and neurological injuries. Increasing …

Objective Dyslexia-susceptibility-1-candidate-1 (DYX1C1) was the first gene associated with
dyslexia. Since the original report of 2003, eight replication attempts have been published …

Several genes have been suggested as dyslexia candidates. Some of these candidate
genes have been recently shown to be associated with literacy measures in sample cohorts …

A substantial genetic contribution in the etiology of developmental dyslexia (DD) has been
well documented with independent groups reporting a susceptibility locus on chromosome …

Abstract DYX1C1 and KIAA0319 have been two of the most extensively studied candidate
genes for dyslexia given their important roles in the neuronal migration and neurite growth …

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