Reading disability: evidence for a genetic etiology.

European child & adolescent psychiatry - 1 Jan 1999

Gayán J, Olson R K

Abstract excerpt

A review of evidence for genetic influences on reading disabilities (RD) is presented, with focus on twin study design and sib-pair linkage techniques. DeFries-Fulker multiple regression analyses result in significant estimates of heritability for group deficits on several reading and language measures. Structural equation modeling techniques reveal the presence of significant common and independent genetic...
