Gene research finds DNA variants linked to dyslexia in first study of its kind Scientists have for the first time pinpointed a large number of genes that are reliably associated with dyslexia.
Dyslexia is known to run in families – partly because of genetic factors – but until now, little was known about the specific genes that relate to the risk of it developing.
The team behind this latest research claim it is the largest genetic study of dyslexia to date. The Independent
