  • John Clarence DeFries (* 26. November 1934 in Delrey, Iroquois County, Illinois) ist ein US-amerikanischer Verhaltensgenetiker. Bis 2005 war er Professor für Verhaltensgenetik und Psychologie an der University of Colorado Boulder. DeFries studierte an der University of Illinois at Urbana mit dem Abschluss zum Ph.D. 1961. Dort begann er mit der Lehre, bis er 1967 an die University of Colorado wechselte. Am Institute for Behavioral Genetics der Universität Colorado Boulder führte DeFries die weltweit erste breite Zwillingsstudie zu Dyslexie durch. Seine Leistungen schließen große Studien an Zwillingen und Adoptivkindern zu kognitiven Fähigkeiten, genetischen Ursachen für Lernschwierigkeiten und DNA-Forschungen über die Lokalisierung von Genen mit Bezug zum Verhalten ein.

His contributions include major twin and adoption studies of cognitive abilities, genetics of learning disabilities, and, when molecular tools became available, pioneering the use of DNA markers to locate genes that influence behavioral characters. At the Institute for Behavioral Genetics at the University of Colorado Boulder Dr. DeFries established the world's first large twin study of dyslexia at the Institute for Behavior Genetics in Boulder, and supervised over 17 PhD students. Among his works are a standard text on behavior genetics and original work on behavior-genetic methodology, some of it in collaboration with David Fulker. DeFries' articles have been cited over 29,000 times and he has an h-index of 87. (en)
