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

Researchers have found that motor delay and low muscle tone were common signs of an underlying genetic diagnosis in children with neurodevelopment disorders. In a new study, UCLA Health researchers ...

Jane, Julie, and Jemma are 6-year-old classmates. The three girls show several similarities in behaviour and cognition. All three struggle with starting new tasks, task-switching, sustaining attention ...

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 ...

Children with neurodevelopmental disorders report congenital abnormalities, such as defects of the heart and/or urinary tract, at least ten times more frequent compared to other children. This is one ...

Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy was associated with a 29% greater risk of neurodevelopmental diagnosis by age 3 years. The largest effects were observed in third-trimester exposures, ...

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off genes in stem cells and then followed how successfully the cells developed ...

Our new study highlights a crucial, but often hidden, aspect of child health—the mental health impact of living with two or more neurodevelopmental conditions. We found children with multiple ...
