UT Dallas researchers make a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of dyslexia, where studies have shown to provide evidence to the claim people with dyslexia may not be able to hear exactly the same sounds someone without are able to hear. Further examinations have been given as support for this claim.

“If you have trouble hearing the sounds in your language, you will have trouble learning to read later,” he said. “Armed with this information about a genetic link, we may be able to determine who is at risk for reading problems before they have trouble—before they even start learning to read.”

UT of Dallas researchers have discovered a gene which may affect dyslexics.
2
Dyslexia may be genetic.
