Objective: To explore the association between telomere length (TL) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children at 6-12 years. Method: Data from 1,759 children belonging to the HELIX project cohorts and the Asturias, Gipuzkoa and Valencia cohorts of INMA project were included. TL was determined by blood sample using a…

Heather Coleman; Arlene Mannion; Sally Whelan; Megan Tones; Helen Heussler; Matthew Bellgard; Geraldine Leader – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disorder that impacts 1:20,000 people. Challenging behaviour, such as severe injurious behaviour, aggression and frequent unprovoked episodes of laughter are a significant problem among adults with AS that adversely impacts an individual's quality of life. This study, for the first time, aims understand the…

Kimberly A. Schreck; Lindsay M. Knapp – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Children with mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA (MPS-IIIA) may receive a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) due to MPS-IIIA's initial symptom similarities with ASD. This may lead to professionals receiving referrals to work with these children but unaware of how these children may respond differently to treatment. To appropriately work with…

Norman, Mackenzie Z. – Communique, 2022
Turner syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal disorder, caused by either complete or partial X monosomy (i.e., absence of one member of a pair of chromosomes) in some or all cells. It affects approximately 1 in 2,500 female live births. However, only about 1% of fetuses with 45, X karyotype (image of one's chromosomes) are carried to term, and up to 10%…

Emily K. Unholz-Bowden; Shawn N. Girtler; Alefyah Shipchandler; Rebecca L. Kolb; Jennifer J. McComas – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2024
The vast majority of individuals with Rett syndrome do not utilize natural speech and therefore require alternative and augmentative communication (AAC). The purpose of the current study was to investigate the use of high- and low-tech AAC modalities by three individuals with Rett syndrome given similar instruction for using both modalities. For…

Specialized multidisciplinary supports are important for long-term outcomes for autistic youth. Although family and child factors predict service utilization in autism, little is known with respect to youth with rare, autism-associated genetic variants, who frequently have increased psychiatric, developmental, and behavioral needs. We investigate…

Purpose: This study investigated the language and cognitive skills of preschool children with sex chromosome trisomies (SCTs) with and without a co-diagnosis of developmental language disorder (DLD), considering possible differences between SCT types (i.e., XXX, XXY, and XYY). Method: Fifty-five children with a prenatally diagnosed SCT (19 XXX, 25…

Nuttall, Michelle; Pelletier, Lise – Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, 2021
Repetition compulsion is a psychodynamic concept that explains an attempt to master trauma. This case study attempts to understand the possible meanings of symbol repetition that occurred in the art therapy process of a twelve-year-old boy with acute methylmalonic acidemia. Over 29 sessions of art therapy, the client demonstrated repetition…

Barstein, Jamie; Jeste, Shafali; Saravanapandian, Vidya; Hyde, Carly; Distefano, Charlotte – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Duplication of chromosome 15q11.2-q13.1 (dup15q syndrome) results in hypotonia, intellectual disability (ID), and autism symptomatology. Clinical electroencephalography has shown abnormal sleep physiology, but no studies have characterized sleep behaviors. The present study used the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) in 42 people with…

Boley, Nathaniel; Patil, Sanath; Garnett, Emily O.; Li, Hua; Chugani, Diane C.; Chang, Soo-Eun; Chow, Ho Ming – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The biological mechanisms underlying developmental stuttering remain unclear. In a previous investigation, we showed that there is significant spatial correspondence between regional gray matter structural anomalies and the expression of genes linked to energy metabolism. In the current study, we sought to further examine the relationship…

Allen, Caitlin G.; Green, Ridgely Fisk; Dowling, Nicole F.; Fairley, Temeika L.; Khoury, Muin J. – Health Education & Behavior, 2023
Problem Addressed: To better understand the factors associated with family cancer history (FCH) information and cancer information seeking, we model the process an individual undergoes when assessing whether to gather FCH and seek cancer information and compare models by sociodemographics and family history of cancer. We used cross-sectional data…

This study investigated sex and age differences in autistic behaviours in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who scored within the clinical range on the Social Responsiveness Scale - Second Edition (T score [greater than or equal to] 60). Thirty-four males and 28 females (3-16 years) were assessed with the Autism Diagnostic Observation…

Sleep problems are prevalent among autistic children and children with Rare Genetic Neurodevelopmental Disorders (RGND). Behavioral interventions are commonly used to treat sleep problems, with most involving extinction. While effective, the occurrence of a response burst (i.e., temporary worsening of the behavior) can result in a temporary…
