Members of the immediate families of 20 children with specific reading disability were examined to determine the prevalence of reading disability within the families. A procedure was developed for identifying adults who may have compensated for a disability manifested more clearly in childhood. Of 75 1st-degree relatives of the parents, 45% were affected and there was a significantly greater number of affected male relatives than females. No single mode of genetic transmission was evident after inspection of the pedigrees. The disorder was genetically heterogeneous and subgroups of disabled readers should be sought.
