Developmental delays in infanthood often persist, turning into life-long difficulties, and coming at great cost for the individual and community. By examining the developing brain and its relation to developmental outcomes we can start to elucidate how the emergence of brain circuits is manifested in variability of…

Genomic medicine has transformed the diagnosis of rare developmental disorders. Evidence about risks for co-occurring psychiatric disorders is, however, limited and potentially not fully considered when counselling families about a genetic diagnosis. Our study explored parents’ experiences of genetics services and…

Preterm birth is linked to intellectual disability and there is evidence to suggest post-term birth may also incur risk. However, these associations have not yet been investigated in the absence of common genetic causes of intellectual disability (where risk associated with late delivery may be preventable) or with…

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) impact 7% to 14% of all children in developed countries and are one of the leading causes of lifelong disability. Epigenetic modifications are poised at the interface between genes and environment and are predicted to reveal insight into the gene networks, cell types, and…

3q29 duplication syndrome (3q29Dup) is a rare genomic disorder caused by the reciprocal duplication of the 1.6 Mb 3q29 deletion syndrome region. Case reports indicate the 3q29Dup is likely to be pathogenic, but because no systematic study of the syndrome exists, the full range of manifestations is not well-understood.…

Adverse perinatal factors can disrupt the normal development of the brain, with potential long-term impacts on children’s overall development. Currently, the neuropathological mechanisms by which these factors lead to various neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) remain largely unknown. An open resource that integrate…

Children who were born preterm are at risk for cognitive deficits and lower academic achievement. Notably, mathematics achievement is generally most affected. Here, we investigated how early mathematics skills are mediated by cognitive functions, and how these are impacted by preterm birth. Healthy children born…
