Independent genome-wide scans identify a chromosome 18 quantitative-trait locus influencing dyslexia.
Developmental dyslexia is defined as a specific and significant impairment in reading ability that cannot be explained by deficits in intelligence, learning opportunity, motivation or sensory acuity. It is one of the most frequently diagnosed disorders in childhood, representing a major educational...
