Doublecortin domain-containing protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCDC2 gene.[3][4][5]
Function
This gene encodes a protein with two doublecortin peptide domains. This domain has been demonstrated to bind tubulin and enhance microtubule polymerization.[5]
Clinical significance
Mutations in this gene have been associated with reading disability (RD), also referred to as developmental dyslexia.[5][6]
Changes in the DCDC2 gene are frequently found among dyslexics. Altered alleles often occur among children with reading and writing difficulties. The gene appears to have a strong linkage with the processing of speech information when writing.[7][8][9]
