In this study, we attempted to confirm genetic linkage to developmental dyslexia and reading-related quantitative traits of loci that have been shown to be associated with dyslexia in previous studies. In our sample of 108 Dutch nuclear families, the categorical trait showed strongest linkage to 1p36 (NPL-LOD = 2.1). LOD scores for quantitative traits word-reading, non-word reading, and rapid naming peaked near...
