Dyslexia - Separate genes influence speed, accuracy of decoding written words
Researchers try to unravel the genetic basis of dyslexia have discovered a location on chromosome 2, one or more genes that contribute to the reading disorder and it is difficult for the people voting early pseudowords included. The team from the University of Washington, by Dr. Wendy Raskind and Ellen Wijsman medical geneticist and psychologist Virginia Berninger led development, warned that the new findings do not imply that scientists have discovered the gene for dyslexia.As with heart disease, no single gene will provide the answer to what causes dyslexia, Raskind said. When you look at something that is inherited there could be multiple genes, perhaps more than a hundred, that contribute to it. And when you look at the characteristics of a person, you must consider
the environmental context. There are other factors that genes that could change the behavior. The study, published in the March issue of the journal Molecular Psychiatry, is remarkable for two reasons.to a new location that contains the genes that contribute to dyslexia. Second, the gene or genes are involved in that position in the speed of decoding - changing the written word, that is, clueless about its meaning - a key component of dyslexia and persistent. Based on past performance by the team at the University of Washington in the familiar patterns of accuracy and speed of decoding, the research also provides the first evidence identifying separate genetic influences on these skills.
learn to read and decoding speed can be a bridge to a later date. Effective
teaching techniques for each bridge are not necessarily the same and usually require more than teaching, as usual, said Berninger, who directs UWS Centre for Learning Disabilities. The UW researchers used pseudo-words, or what jibberwacky Berninger, the name similar to the nonsense syllables in the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll.
