Study from University of Houston is Challenging Where Dyslexia Comes From

A new study from University of Houston is challenging that dyslexia is caused by one faulty gene. Using large biology databases and decades of research about specific reading disorder, researchers Elena Grigorenko, Hugh Roy, and Lillie Cranz Cullen systematically cataloged candidate genes reported to be related to dyslexia or reading-related processes. Grigorenko stated, “Our findings challenge the notion of the existence of reading-specific genes, suggesting instead that dyslexia reflects the disruption of ancient evolutionary neural mechanisms operating within human-specific brain architecture,”
