Dyslexia is due to the inverse position between chromosomes 1 and 2. This is what the genetic genetic study carried out by some German biologists in a family with dyslexic relatives says. The dyslexia of these people has been measured through reading and writing, and to rule out their possible relationship with subnormality, intellectual quotients have been measured, all over 85.

For their part, American researchers believe that the origin of the disease can be on chromosome 15.
