Left-handedness is associated with a higher frequency of immune diseases, migraines, and developmental learning disorders. Norman Geschwind and Peter Behan conducted two studies comparing left-handed and right-handed individuals. In the first study, left-handed individuals had significantly higher rates of immune diseases, such as celiac disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and ulcerative colitis, as well as learning disorders like dyslexia and stuttering, compared to right-handed controls. The frequency of these conditions was also higher in relatives of left-handed individuals. In the second study, left-handedness was more common among patients with migraines and myasthenia gravis compared to general population controls. However, no significant differences were found in other immune disease groups. The authors propose that left-handedness may be linked to immune disorders and learning disabilities through a combination of genetic and neurological factors. They suggest that testosterone may influence both brain development and immune system maturation, potentially contributing to the observed associations. The hypothesis also suggests that genetic factors may play a role in the familial clustering of left-handedness, immune disorders, and learning disabilities. The studies highlight the need for further research to understand the biological mechanisms underlying these associations.Left-handedness is associated with a higher frequency of immune diseases, migraines, and developmental learning disorders.
