Open AccessThe DCDC2 deletion is not a risk factor for dyslexia
Dyslexia is a specific impairment in learning to read and has strong heritability. An intronic deletion within the DCDC2 gene, with ~8% frequency in European populations, is increasingly used as a marker for dysl...

Open AccessInvestigation of Dyslexia and SLI Risk Variants in Reading- and Language-Impaired Subjects
Dyslexia (or reading disability) and specific language impairment (or SLI) are common childhood disorders that show considerable co-morbidity and diagnostic overlaps and have been suggested to share some genet...

Further evidence that the KIAA0319 gene confers susceptibility to developmental dyslexia
The DYX2 locus on chromosome 6p22.2 is the most replicated region of linkage to developmental dyslexia (DD). Two candidate genes within this region have recently been implicated in the disorder: KIAA0319 and DCDC...

Relationship between Y-chromosomal DNA haplotype and sperm count in Italy
Forty Italian individuals with sperm counts in the range 20–130×106/ml were typed with eleven Y-specific binary markers. Five Y haplogroups (1, 2, 3, 9 and 21) were present in the sample. In Italy, in contrast to...

Y-chromosomal DNA haplotypes in infertile European males carrying Y-microdeletions
We have determined Y-chromosomal DNA haplotypes in 73 infertile European males carrying Y microdeletions and compared them with the haplotypes of 299 infertile males lacking microdeletions. Chromosomes were ty...
