Over the past several years, several of these candidate genes for dyslexia have become mainstays in the literature (Mascheretti et al., 2017; Gialluisi et al., 2021), among them the ones previously mentioned (DCDC2, KIAA0319) and others such as DYX1C1 (Taipale et al., 2003) and ROBO1 (Hannula-Jouppi et al., 2005; Tran et al., 2014). The gene discussed is DCDC2; the disease is dyslexia.
