Prenatal Evaluation of RNU4‐2 Variants in Fetuses With Central Nervous System Anomalies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are among the most common congenital malformations, yet the overall prenatal diagnostic yield of current genetic testing remains below 40%. Variants in RNU4‐2, a non‐coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), have recently been linked to a novel highly recurrent dominant ...

Australian Practitioners' Beliefs, Confidence, and Training Needs for Delivering Behaviour Support to Children and Young People in Out‐of‐Home Care

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) frequently present with complex behavioural needs. In New South Wales (NSW), behaviour support plans (BSPs) are mandated when restrictive practices, including psychotropic medication, are used. Little research has examined whether the statutory workforce is adequately prepared to meet behaviour support ...

Beyond Behaviour: Exploring How Positive Behaviour Support Might Work for Autistic Children Within Australia's NDIS

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) endorsed‐behavioural intervention framework. Understanding how and why PBS is effective is critical, given the increasing number of autistic children accessing the NDIS.

Expanded characterization of the valproic acid zebrafish larval model of autism spectrum disorder: Insights into dysregulation in the gut

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Meticulous calculation of zebrafish‐equivalent therapeutic valproic acid (VPA) dosage maximized the translational value of the data. Hyposerotonergic tone underpinned an anxiety‐like outcome as a core symptom of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Compartment‐specific dopaminergic and serotonergic dysregulation in the brain versus gut provided mechanistic ...
