A 77-Kilobase Region of Chromosome 6p22.2 Is Associated with Dyslexia in Families From the United Kingdom and From the United States  Clyde Francks, Silvia Paracchini, Shelley D. Smith, Alex J.

2 Figure 1 Linkage across 6p with reading-related measures in sample 1 (223 U.K. siblings, 195 total sibling pairs), before and after adjustment for IQ. IQ adjustment increased the strength of linkage and refined the QTL position.

3 Figure 2 Representation of the 225-kb region surrounding the QTL in sample 1. The LD map shows a three-dimensional color-coded plot for pairwise intermarker LD statistics (48 biallelic markers). The colors represent D′ values: green indicates high LD, and blue indicates low LD. The height of the peaks represents the −log10 significance of pairwise LD; high peaks indicate significant LD. Three major LD regions are distinguishable: A, B, and C. The red ribbon represents the significance of SNP associations (−ln[P value]) with the IQ-adjusted orthographic coding (OC-irreg) phenotype (see also table A1 [online only]). The SNPs that showed the strongest associations (and the corresponding P values) are indicated by arrows. The genes within the region and the locations of the SNPs are shown at the bottom.
