<h4>Background</h4>Reading disability (RD) is a common syndrome with a large genetic component. Chromosome 6 has been identified in several linkage studies as playing a significant role. A more recent study identified a peak of transmission disequilibrium to marker JA04 (G72384) on chromosome 6p22.3, suggesting that a gene is located near this marker.<h4>Results</h4>In silico cloning was used to identify possible candidate genes located near the JA04 marker. The 2 million base pairs of sequence ...[more]
