1. What is new about Dyslexia
③Research, the new facts
3jGenetic factors
- The "dyslexia susceptibility" gene DYX1C1 is involved in neural migration and that the deletion
found in a dyslexic family disrupt its function
- Genetically driven cortical abnormalities due to anomalies of
cell migration : ectopias and focal microgyri
taking place in specific areas of the left perisylvian cortex involved in phonological representation and processing,
are the primary cause of dyslexia.
