Familial cancer and developmental dyslexia: an observational pilot study.

Developmental medicine and child neurology - 1 Feb 2004

Taylor Kathleen E

Abstract excerpt

The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that raised platelet-activating factor (PAF) may contribute to the aetiology of developmental dyslexia. PAF is a potent proinflammatory mediator which signals cell damage and facilitates natural killer cell activity. Raised PAF may help protect against tumourigenesis. As dyslexia has a partial genetic basis, the PAF hypothesis predicts that dyslexia may be...
