Association of the <i>KIAA0319</i> Dyslexia Susceptibility Gene With Reading Skills in the General Population

Abstract

These results both support a role of the KIAA0319 gene in the development of dyslexia and suggest that this gene influences reading ability in the general population. Moreover, the data implicate the three-SNP haplotype and its tagging SNP rs2143340 as genetic risk factors for poor reading performance.
