A GENE ASSOCIATED WITH HUMAN READING PERFORMANCE

摘要

Disclosed herein are kits and methods for assessing the risk of poor reading performance in an individual by detecting and identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms in chromosome 19, e.g. in the KIAA0355 (GARRE1) gene. Also disclosed herein are risk alleles in chromosome 19 that are associated with a latent measure for reading ability.
