A recent edition of the World of Dyslexia Newsletter reports on a research
study by Juha Kere of the University of Helsinki in Finland that indicates
there may be a gene involved in dyslexia.  Called DYXC1, the gene was found
in a Finnish family that has four members with dyslexia, and Kere reported
on this at the Human Genome Organization meeting.
