Pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) — now known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) — refers to a group of conditions that affect average development. It may appear as a delay in development of ...
Research into the causes of developmental disorders has identified 285 genes linked to these conditions, including 28 newly-associated genes. The study will enable diagnoses for around 500 families ...
Developmental delays can affect a child’s physical, cognitive, communication, social, emotional, or behavioral skills. Often, delays affect more than one area of development. When a child has delays ...
Non-coding regions of DNA could hold the key to diagnosing developmental disorders in children, new research suggests. The study, by researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the Wellcome Centre ...
Researchers have conducted what they say is the largest and most diverse study to date on how recessive genetic changes contribute to developmental disorders. The team, headed by researchers at the ...
Researchers assessed the role of recessive genetic variants in developmental disorders, suggesting reanalysis of genetic data could improve understanding and diagnosis of conditions for millions of ...
