For the first time researchers have found a gene which could trigger dyslexia in some children. The discovery reinforces earlier research showing the condition can be inherited. Up to ten per cent ...

However, it was far less clear whether dyslexia might also share genetic links with other childhood traits, particularly ...

Scientists from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas, Nevada (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic ...

Genetic factors are thought to play a major role in the development of autism – but for decades what they are has proven elusive. Now scientists are starting to uncover clues. Until the 1970s ...

ADHD was shown to be more significantly associated with attention and learning issues than with neurodevelopmental features such as autism and Tourette syndrome. Follow-up analysis of the ...

Autism is highly heritable but current genetic risk factors do not explain a large proportion of this heritability. Recent technological advances have enabled genome-wide single nucleotide ...

Titled “Seizure-like behavior and hyperactivity in NAPB knockout zebrafish as a model for autism and epilepsy,” the research focused on a gene called NAPB1, which was identified by the QBRI ...

This may be the case for people with autism, ADHD, or dyslexia. A person’s gift may ... Autism, Inflammation, and the Gut-Brain Axis Autism has a genetic component, but symptoms also depend ...

In 2020 Yuen discovered that TREs are genetic contributors to autism, identifying more than 2,588 different places in the genome where TREs were much more prevalent in people with ASD. Similarly ...

Although neurodiversity primarily refers to autism, there are also conversations around neurodiversity and Tourette’s syndrome, epilepsy, dyslexia, and bipolar disorder. Differences in thinking ...
