Familial Dyslexia: Genetic and Medical Findings in Eleven Three-Generation Families.
Lubs, Herbert A.; And Others
Annals of Dyslexia, v43 p44-60 1993
This study of 11 3-generation families supported the hypothesis of autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance. Data did not support an increased frequency of males, left-handedness, or autoimmune disorders in dyslexics. Severity was greater in males. Long-term outcome was comparable in dyslexics and nondyslexics. (JDD)
