abstract several genes suggested dyslexia candidates candidate genes recently shown associated literacy measures sample cohorts derived general population conducted association study novel sample derived australian population raine cohort investigate role dyslexia candidate genes analysed markers previously reported associated dyslexia located within mrpl19c2orf3 kiaa0319 dcdc2 dyx1c1 genes sample 520 individuals tested association reading spelling measures association signals detected several single nucleotide polymorphisms snps within dyx1c1 reading spelling tests high linkage disequilibrium ld observed across dyx1c1 gene suggests association signal might refined genetic mapping
