High Risk of Reading Disability and Speech Sound Disorder in Rolandic Epilepsy Families: Case–Control Study

Abstract

RE is strongly comorbid with RD and SSD. Both RD and SSD are likely to be genetically influenced and may contribute to the complex genetic etiology of the RE syndrome. Siblings of RE patients are at high risk of RD and SSD and both RE patients and their younger siblings should be screened early.
