Detailed explanation-1: -A child with an affected parent has a risk of 40–60% of developing dyslexia. This risk is increased when other family members are also affected. There is an estimated 3–10‐fold increase in the relative risk for a sibling (s), with an increase in s observed when strict criteria are applied.
Detailed explanation-2: -Both mothers and fathers can pass dyslexia on to their children if either parent has it. There is roughly a 50% – 60% chance of a child developing dyslexia if one of their parents has it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Those with a parent with dyslexia are at a higher risk than those whose parents do not have the condition. Based on what I’ve told you so far, you might guess that dyslexia is passed on through your genes. And you’d be partly right. But genes aren’t the whole story–the environment plays a role as well.
Detailed explanation-4: -Strong evidence that KIAA0319 on chromosome 6p is a susceptibility gene for developmental dyslexia.
