CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Is dyslexia hereditary? Dyslexia is regarded as a neurobiological condition that is genetic in origin. This means that individuals can inherit this condition from a parent and it affects the performance of the neurological system (specifically, the parts of the brain responsible for learning to read).

Detailed explanation-3: -Children and adults of all intellectual abilities can be affected by dyslexia. The exact cause of dyslexia is unknown, but it often appears to run in families. It’s thought certain genes inherited from your parents may act together in a way that affects how some parts of the brain develop during early life.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a learning disorder affecting the ability to read, with a heritability of 40–60%. A notable part of this heritability remains unexplained, and large genetic studies are warranted to identify new susceptibility genes and clarify the genetic bases of dyslexia.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
