The objective of this study was to determine the familial aggregation of DC. Siblings and parents of children with DC were assessed for arithmetic, reading and attention disorders. The criteria for DC were an IQ higher than 85, poor performance in arithmetic, and a significant discrepancy between arithmetic achievement and IQ. The study group was composed of 39 children with DC, 21 mothers, 22 fathers, 90 siblings, and 16 second-degree relatives. We found that 66% of mothers, 40% of fathers, 53% of siblings, and 44% of second-degree relatives had DC. The intraclass correlation between the sib pairs was .27. A 95% confidential interval (CI) for the prevalence of DC among siblings of DC probands (see Note 1) ranged from 40% to 64%, indicating a familial prevalence almost tenfold higher than expected for the general population. IQ and attention problems were not risk factors for DC. We conclude that DC, like other learning disabilities, has a significant familial aggregation, suggesting a role for genetics in the evolution of this disorder.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/002221940103400105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,12,14]],"date-time":"2007-12-14T00:52:20Z","timestamp":1197593540000},"page":"59-65","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":133,"title":["Developmental Dyscalculia Is a Familial Learning Disability"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Ruth S.","family":"Shalev","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuropediatric Unit at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Orly","family":"Manor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Hebrew University-Hadassah, Jerusalem"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Batsheva","family":"Kerem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Sciences, Hebrew University, Jerusalem"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mady","family":"Ayali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Navah","family":"Badichi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuropediatric Unit, Shaare Zedek Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yechiel","family":"Friedlander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Hebrew University-Hadassah, Jerusalem"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Varda","family":"Gross-Tsur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuropediatric Unit at Shaare Zedek, Agmon Kindergarten for Children with Cerebral Palsy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Manual for the child behavior checklist\/4-18 and 1991 profile","author":"Achenbach, T.M.","year":"1991"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/002221949703000605"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02699939408408931"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7610.1991.tb01926.x"},{"key":"atypb5","unstructured":"Badian, N.A.
