Human GRIN2B variants in neurodevelopmental disorders
The development of whole exome/genome sequencing technologies has given rise to an unprecedented volume of data linking patient genomic variability to brain disorder phenotypes. A surprising number of variants have been found in the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) gene family, with the GRIN2B gene encoding the GluN2B subunit being implicated in many cases of neurodevelopmental disorders, ...
متن کاملNeurodevelopmental Disorders
The effective identification of neurodevelopmental disorders is essential for early diagnosis and provision of intervention services. For many of these conditions, one of the primary domains of abnormality is language development. This review addresses what is known about the earliest indicators of language impairment across a range of neurodevelopmental disorders; consideration is given to bot...
متن کاملModeling human neurodevelopmental disorders in the Xenopus tadpole: from mechanisms to therapeutic targets
The Xenopus tadpole model offers many advantages for studying the molecular, cellular and network mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders. Essentially every stage of normal neural circuit development, from axon outgrowth and guidance to activity-dependent homeostasis and refinement, has been studied in the frog tadpole, making it an ideal model to determine what happens when any of t...
متن کاملCNVs in neurodevelopmental disorders
Copy number variations (CNVs) consist of duplications or deletions of chromosomal regions ranging from a few hundred to more than a million bases in size, and are likely to play a role in phenotypic diversity and evolution. Recent advances in the identification and mapping of CNVs among normal individuals and in model systems, using bioinformatics and hybridization-based methods, are beginning ...
متن کاملSleep and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Sleep disorders in children are among the most common parental complaints to health care professionals and frequently occur in children with neurological and developmental disorders. Thus, I am grateful to the editors of Neuropediatrics for the opportunity to assemble in one place several papers that outline the contemporary knowledge about sleep disorders in patients with neurodevelopmental di...
