Direct linkShemaila Saleem; Syed Hamid Habib – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition. Genetic, environmental, and epigenetic variables are all likely to have a role in the occurrence of ASD. This systematic review was done to determine the implications of genetic factors and modifiers in ASD. Our results show that nearly all human chromosomes have one or more…

Purpose: Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare multi-systemic disorder primarily linked to mutations in "MECP2" gene. This study aims to describe the prevalence of orthopedic conditions in RTT patients, and examine their intricate interplay with functional capabilities, and "MECP2" variant subtypes. Methods: Conducted as a…

Increasing research suggests a link between autism spectrum disorders and joint hypermobility, hypermobility spectrum disorders, and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes. However, no study systematically examined the available literature about the relationship between these conditions. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify studies (a)…

The clinical spectrum of Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is varied, with wide-ranging degrees of intellectual disability, developmental delays, behavioral abnormalities, and medical features. Different types of genetic variation lead to PMS, and differing genotypes (e.g., size of deletion or type of variant) account for some of this variability,…

Microcephaly presents heterogeneous genetic etiology linked to several neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Copy number variants (CNVs) are a causal mechanism of microcephaly whose investigation is a crucial step for unraveling its molecular basis. Our purpose was to investigate the burden of rare CNVs in microcephalic individuals and to review…

María-Pilar López-Garrido; María-Carmen Carrascosa-Romero; Minerva Montero-Hernández; Jesús Ruiz-Almansa; Francisco Sánchez-Sánchez – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
"ATRX" mutations are commonly associated with alpha-thalassaemia mental retardation syndrome (ATR-X syndrome) with a notable variable expressivity. This X-linked disorder is characterized by intellectual disability (ID) in a higher or lesser degree, in which the alpha-thalassaemia feature is not always present. Other phenotypic…

Caryn Babaian; Sudhir Kumar – American Biology Teacher, 2024
The emerging field of genomic medicine offers an opportunity for biology and anatomy teachers to bring the topics of DNA, genetics, molecular processes, and evolution together into one experience. Through the genomic medicine paradigm, students see the unbroken connection between small biological topics such as mutations and their potential…

While 10% of the U.S. population are afflicted with a rare disease, patients with a rare disease can have a difficult time finding a provider or useful information. Patients with rare diseases are often frustrated by lack of knowledge from their provider, lack of satisfaction with their provider, and lack of available time with their provider.…

Caitlin N. Harrington; Ana Morales; Jonathan A. Bernstein; Laurel Calderwood – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
A minority of patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are offered genetic testing by their providers or referred for genetics evaluation despite published guidelines and consensus statements supporting genetics-informed care for this population. This study aimed to investigate the ordering habits of providers of different specialties and to…

Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a genetic condition associated with profound neurodevelopmental disabilities. This study described patterns of onset and loss of developmental milestones and associated skills using questionnaire data from the PMS International Registry (N = 374) and clinician-led assessment data from the Developmental…

Kamara, Dana; De Boeck, Paul; Lecavalier, Luc; Neuhaus, Emily; Beauchaine, Theodore P. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Studies of 16p11.2 copy number variants (CNVs) provide an avenue to identify mechanisms of impairment and develop targeted treatments for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. 16p11.2 deletion and duplication phenotypes are currently being ascertained; however, sleep disturbances are minimally described. In this study, we examine sleep…

Anecdotal reports link a distinct, bilateral, parieto-temporally generated 4.5-Hz rhythm on an electroencephalogram to a methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene variant co-occurring in autism spectrum disorder, but the validation of its precision is needed. The electroencephalograms of children with autism spectrum disorder showing the distinct…

Background: There is limited evidence exploring sibling's perspective in Prader-Willi syndrome research. Objectives: To investigate the experiences and support needs of the siblings of individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome. Methods: This two-stage qualitative study involved siblings aged 11 years onwards (n = 11) and parents (n = 8). Stage 1…

Amanda J. Haskins; Jeff Mentch; Caitlin Van Wicklin; Yeo Bi Choi; Caroline E. Robertson – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Sensory differences are nearly universal in autism, but their genetic origins are poorly understood. Here, we tested how individuals with an autism-linked genotype, 16p.11.2 deletion ("16p"), attend to visual information in immersive, real-world photospheres. We monitored participants' (N = 44) gaze while they actively explored 360°…

This project is an interdisciplinary endeavor to connect research in the teaching of English with Critical Disability Studies, an intersection that is crucial to disrupting ableism and creating more liberatory schooling and societal contexts that embrace broader notions of human differences. Invoking critical content analysis of five young adult…
