Solution structure of RSGI RUH-062, a DCX domain from human

Disease

[DCDC2_HUMAN] Defects in DCDC2 may be a cause of susceptibility to dyslexia type 2 (DYX2) [MIM:600202]; also known as specific reading disability type 2. Dyslexia is a relatively common, complex cognitive disorder that affects 5% to 10% of school-aged children. The disorder is characterized by an impairment of reading performance despite adequate motivational, educational and intellectual opportunities and in the absence of sensory or neurological disability.^[1]

Function

[DCDC2_HUMAN] May be involved in neuronal migration during development of the cerebral neocortex (By similarity).
