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 …

DYX3, a locus for dyslexia, resides on chromosome 2p11-p15. We have refined its location
on 2p12 to a 157 kb region in two rounds of linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping in a set of …

Reading disability (RD), or dyslexia, is the most common learning disability with a
prevalence rate of~ 5%–10% in school-age children. RD is highly heritable with evidence of …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Reading disabilities (RD) have been linked and associated with markers on chromosome 6p
with results from multiple independent samples pointing to KIAA0319 as a risk gene and …

Numerous genetic association studies have implicated the KIAA0319 gene on human
chromosome 6p22 in dyslexia susceptibility. The causative variant (s) remains unknown but …

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 …
