There is some evidence to suggest genetics play a part in developmental dyslexia (you are born with it). If a child has one dyslexic parent then a boy has a 50% chance of being dyslexic, a girl has a 25% chance. However, it sometimes skips the female children but they become carriers for their children. Check the web sites of the British Dyslexia Association for references and details.

dyslexia is a recessive allele but some children can still inherit it at any age.

There is substantial indication that dyslexia and related disorders are hereditary, at least in some cases, but the jury is still out. Please see the link below the ads for more information.

To some extent. It is statistically proven that if you have someone who has dyslexia, you will be much more likely to, although you won't NECESSARILY have it.
