Doublecortin domain-containing protein 2 (DCDC2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCDC2 gene.[5][6][7]

Function

This gene encodes a protein with two doublecortin peptide domains. This domain has been demonstrated to bind tubulin and enhance microtubule polymerization.[7]

Clinical significance

Mutations in this gene have been associated with reading disability (RD), also referred to as developmental dyslexia.[7][8] But this is controverse since a recent study proposed that there is a "low likelihood of a direct deletion effect on reading skills."[9] 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.[10][11][12]
