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 …

Introduction The DCDC2 gene is involved in neuronal migration. Heterotopias have been
found within the white matter of DCDC2-knockdown rats. A deletion in DCDC2/intron 2 …

Background It is well known that males have a higher prevalence of developmental dyslexia
(DD) than females. Although the mechanism underlying this gender difference remains …

Reading disability (RD) or dyslexia is a common neurogenetic disorder. Two genes,
KIAA0319 and DCDC2, have been identified by association studies of the DYX2 locus on …

Dyslexia is a complex reading and writing disorder with a strong genetic component. In a
German case-control cohort, we studied the influence of the suspected dyslexia-associated …

Reading Disability (RD) is a significant impairment in reading accuracy, speed and/or
comprehension despite adequate intelligence and educational opportunity. RD affects 5 …

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 …

Dyslexia is a specific impairment in reading that affects 1 in 10 people. Previous studies
have failed to isolate a single cause of the disorder, but several candidate genes have been …

Although a genetic component is known to have an important role in the etiology of
developmental dyslexia (DD), we are far from understanding the molecular etiopathogenetic …

BACKGROUND: The dyslexia susceptibility 1 candidate 1 (DYX1C1) gene has recently
been associated with dyslexia and reading scores in several population samples. The …
