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

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 …

Background Six independent studies have identified linkage to chromosome 18 for
developmental dyslexia or general reading ability. Until now, no candidate genes have been …

Dyslexia is characterized as a significant impairment in reading and spelling ability that
cannot be explained by low intelligence, low school attendance or deficits in sensory acuity …

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 …

Developmental dyslexia is a neurofunctional disorder characterised by an unexpected
difficulty in learning to read and write despite adequate intelligence, motivation, and …

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 …

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 …

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