Abstract excerpt
Analysis of genetic linkage to dyslexia was performed using 133,165 array-based SNPs genotyped in 718 persons from 101 dyslexia-affected families. Results showed five linkage peaks with lod scores >2.3 (4q13.1, 7q36.1-q36.2, 7q36.3, 16p12.1, and 17q22). Of these five regions, three have been previously implicated in dyslexia (4q13.1, 16p12.1, and 17q22), three have been implicated in attention-deficit...
