Developmental dyslexia is a highly heritable disorder with a prevalence of at least 5% in
school-aged children. Linkage studies have identified numerous loci throughout the genome …

Dyslexia is a highly heritable learning disorder with a complex underlying genetic
architecture. Over the past decade, researchers have pinpointed a number of candidate …

Developmental dyslexia is a common specific childhood learning disorder with a strong
heritable component. Previous studies using different genetic approaches have identified …

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 …

The purpose of this article is to review recent findings suggesting a genetic susceptibility for
speech sound disorders (SSD), the most prevalent communication disorder in early …

Reading reflects the complex integration of several cognitive processes and proves more
difficult to achieve for a significant proportion of the population. Developmental dyslexia …

Inspired by the localization, on 15q21. 2 of the CYP19A1 gene in the linkage region of
speech and language disorders, and a rare translocation in a dyslexic individual that was …

Dyslexia is a common pediatric disorder that affects 5–17% of schoolchildren in the United
States. It is marked by unexpected difficulties in fluent reading despite adequate intelligence …

Four genes have recently been proposed as candidates for dyslexia: dyslexia susceptibility
1 candidate 1 (DYX1C1), roundabout Drosophila homolog 1 (ROBO1), doublecortin domain …

Language and communication development is a complex process influenced by numerous
environmental and genetic factors. Many neurodevelopment disorders include deficits in …
