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

Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a learning disorder affecting the ability to read, with a
heritability of 40–60%. A notable part of this heritability remains unexplained, and large …

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, a specific reading disability, is a common (up to 10% of children) and highly
heritable (~ 70%) neurodevelopmental disorder. Behavioral and molecular genetic …

Abnormal regulation of neural migration and neurite growth is thought to be an important
feature of developmental dyslexia (DD). We investigated 16 genetic variants, selected by …

Analysis of genetic linkage to dyslexia was performed using 133,165 array‐based SNPs
genotyped in 718 persons from 101 dyslexia‐affected families. Results showed five linkage …

Studies of dyslexia provide vital insights into the cognitive architecture underpinning both
disordered and normal reading. It is well established that inherited factors contribute to …

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

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 …

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