A group of 20 patients with undiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders ranging from severe to mild has now received a genetic diagnosis thanks to an international team of researchers at the GREGoR ...

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) approach that accelerates the identification of genes that contribute to neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, ...

A seminal study has uncovered a new genetic cause of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). The discovery offers both closure and hope to potentially thousands of families worldwide who have long been ...

The ARX gene, which encodes a paired-type homeobox transcription factor, is crucial in forebrain development and interneuron specification. Mutations in ARX have been implicated in a spectrum of ...

The increased awareness of neurodiversity has led to the acceptance of a broad spectrum of 'normal' neurodevelopmental phenotypes. A new study in JCCP Advances develops a factor structure to examine ...

At Children's Hospital Colorado, Aurora, Colorado, pediatricians will soon have a new ally in diagnosing and identifying complex neurodevelopmental conditions like ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex and heterogeneous neurodevelopmental condition that affects approximately 1–2% of the global population. It is characterised by challenges in social ...

Pathologic changes of the X-chromosome gene for dystrophin give rise to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and dystrophin -- which minimizes muscle fiber loss due to sarcolemma contraction damage when ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental condition with substantial individual and societal impact. Prevalence estimates vary by ...
