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 ...

Early-onset preeclampsia was associated with increased risk for delayed early-childhood development in the domain of ...

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 ...

Departure from routine can be especially hard for children with developmental disorders, and the changes to daily life wrought by the pandemic pose an extra challenge for them and for their families.

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 ...

Tel Aviv University researchers have made a remarkable discovery that could revolutionize our understanding of genetic mutations and their role in brain development. The study, published today in ...

There’s a growing push to focus on our brain differences, not deficits. This wider view of "normal" is a big part of something called neurodiversity. Advocates hope the idea expands how we think of ...

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 ...

Genetics is just one of several factors thought to influence personality disorder development. Life experiences, family dynamics, coping mechanisms, and social learning may all be contributing factors ...
