Genetic changes affect the ability to read

Genetic changes may explain why some people have no problems at school, but not very good at reading, the researchers reported. Discovery suggests responsible for a gene that is probably for the occurrence of dyslexia among the participants, said Dr. Silvia Paracchini that the study was conducted, from the Trust Center for Human Genetics in Oxford. Dyslexia - a violation of a child's development is manifested, to read in the election defeat and his ability to write. The genetic changes that scientists have found, were not only important in the development of dyslexia, but in general, the ability to read, said Dr. Paracchini. The researchers studied the gene KIAA0319 that. In the development of the brain that is involved for thinking processes The study included more than 6 thousand children aged 10 years, who underwent special tests. As a result, 15% of children who are carriers of the mutated gene have a problem with reading, have some of the kids were not even able to read. According to experts, may be some factors that influenced to read the child's development and ability, but firm conclusions to be drawn, it is necessary to read a new study to be only on the influence of the gene KIAA0319 on a child's ability concentrated perform , scientists say.
