Approximately 3–10% of people have specific difficulties in reading, despite adequate
intelligence, education, and social environment. We report here the characterization of a …

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

In a genome‐wide linkage scan, we aimed at mapping risk loci for dyslexia in the German
population. Our sample comprised 1,030 individuals from 246 dyslexia families which were …

In this study, we attempted to confirm genetic linkage to developmental dyslexia and reading‐
related quantitative traits of loci that have been shown to be associated with dyslexia in …

Several independent studies have supported the association of DYX1C1 with dyslexia, but
its role in general reading development remains unclear. Here, we investigated the …

Dyslexia is a learning disability characterized by difficulty learning to read and write. The
underlying biological and genetic etiology remains poorly understood. One candidate gene …

Dyslexia is among the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, with a prevalence of 5–
12%. At the phenotypic level, various cognitive components that enable reading and …

Dyslexia is the most common and carefully studied of the learning disabilities in school-age
children. It is characterized by a marked impairment in the development of reading skills …

Several quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that influence developmental dyslexia (reading
disability [RD]) have been mapped to chromosome regions by linkage analysis. The most …

Context: Dyslexia is a common disorder with a strong genetic component, but despite
significant research effort, the aetiology is still largely unknown. Objective: To identify loci …
