Behavioral and epileptic phenotypes in a CHD2‐related developmental delay model
Abstract Objective Heterozygous loss‐of‐function mutations in the CHD2 gene, encoding chromodomain helicase DNA‐binding protein 2, are associated with severe childhood onset epilepsy, global developmental delay, and autistic features. Animal models that accurately recapitulate human phenotypes are crucial for understanding rare neurodevelopmental ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Tactile hypo‐responsivity in autism: Examining potential for diagnostic relevance
The study reported in this paper examined the utility of a brief tactile reactivity assessment in differentiating autistic children from those with other neurodevelopmental concerns and the association between tactile responsivity, autism symptomatology, developmental level, and adaptive skills.
