In conclusion, despite early findings that DCDC2 is a strong candidate for developmental dyslexia and that some of the genetic variants have been linked to brain structure and functions in several populations [23, 28, 29, 50-54], our findings show that DCDC2 is not strongly associated with dyslexia in Hong Kong Chinese, consistent with the reports from some other groups [16, 55] and other meta-analyses studies [56]. The gene discussed is DCDC2; the disease is dyslexia.
