rs793862
DCDC2rs793862 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the DCDC2 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Learning & Cognition analysis to describe Risk of Dyslexia.

An rsID such as rs793862 is the reference number dbSNP assigns to one position in the genome where people commonly differ by a single letter. Raw data exports from 23andMe and AncestryDNA list your two alleles at that position as a genotype - for this marker one of CC, CT, TT. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so CT and its reverse are the same genotype.
Alleles on this page are written on the forward (plus) strand, matching how consumer raw files report them. Other references sometimes describe the same variant on the opposite strand, which swaps A↔T and C↔G - see why the same variant can look different. The associations below are educational summaries of published research; they are not diagnoses, and the effect of any single SNP is usually modest.
Risk of Dyslexia
Learning · Part of the Learning & Cognition analysis
Associated with neuronal migration affecting reading and language processing.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| CC | Higher risk of dyslexia |
| CT | Moderate risk |
| TT | Lower risk of dyslexia |
- Summary
- Variations in the DCDC2 gene can influence the risk of developing dyslexia.
- Scientific insights
- Individuals with the 'CC' genotype may have a higher susceptibility to dyslexia.
- Lifestyle tips
- Early intervention and specialized learning strategies can support reading skills.
