An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Developmental delay will be a big part of the new NDIS alternative for some kids. But what does the phrase mean and how can ...

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 ...
