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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder, affecting 12%–13% of adolescents in the United States, according to some studies. The pattern of inattention, ...
