DCDC2 is a gene that has been identified with the development of dyslexia . Precisely how it contributes to the disorder remains unclear. It is thought that the gene may affect the migration of nerve cells in the brain as it develops^{[citation needed]} .

Psychologists at the universities of Marburg and Würzburg analysed blood samples taken from families with dyslexic children, implicating a gene in the short arm of Chromosome 6, a region first identified by scientists from the United States of America and England in connection with reading and spelling disabilities. The German-Swedish team identified the gene DCDC2 as a factor in the emergence of dyslexia.

Changes in the DCDC2 gene were frequently found among dyslexics. Altered alleles often occurred among children with reading and writing difficulties. The gene appears to have a strong linkage with the processing of speech information when writing. Locating this gene may provide researchers with part of the reason why dyslexia occurs. The discovery of the gene and its function may lead to early and more accurate diagnoses and more effective educational programs to address the unique needs of people with dyslexia.

Wonder Woman is a fictional character, a DC Comics superheroine created by William Moulton Marston. She first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941). The Wonder Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously except for a brief hiatus in 1986.

Wonder Woman is a warrior Princess of the Amazons (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology) and was created by Marston, an American, as a "distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men." Known in her homeland as Diana of Themyscira, her powers include superhuman strength, flight (even though the original Wonder Woman did not have this ability), super-speed, super-stamina, and super-agility. She is highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat and in the art of tactical warfare. She also possesses animal-like cunning skills and a natural rapport with animals, which has been presented as an actual ability to communicate with the animal kingdom. She uses her Lasso of Truth, which forces those bound by it to tell the truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and, in some stories, an invisible airplane.
