Obesity Prevalence in DDX3X‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the prevalence of obesity in those affected by DDX3X‐related neurodevelopmental disorder (DDX3X‐NDD). Initial descriptions suggested that individuals with DDX3X‐NDD suffered from poor weight gain or failure to thrive in early childhood, likely in the setting of feeding difficulties and secondary to ...

ABSTRACT Prader‐Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder typically caused by large deletions or imprinting defects on chromosome 15q11.2, encompassing multiple genes. While the contribution of individual genes to the PWS phenotype remains unclear, previous studies suggested that isolated deletions of MAGEL2, NDN, and MKRN3, excluding the ...

Growth Charts for Children With Beckwith–Wiedemann Spectrum
ABSTRACT Beckwith–Wiedemann spectrum (BWSp) is an overgrowth disorder caused by (epi)genetic alterations in chromosome 11p15. This study aimed to develop BWSp‐specific growth charts and explore genotype/phenotype correlations with respect to growth. Heights, weights, and head circumferences were retrospectively collected from 581 individuals with BWSp ...

Potential New Expression Biomarkers for Anorexia Nervosa
ABSTRACT Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric disorder with an estimated heritability of around 70%. Although the largest meta‐analysis of genome‐wide association studies on AN identified independent risk‐conferring loci for the disorder, the molecular mechanisms underlying the genetic basis of AN remain to be elucidated.

ABSTRACT Investigations into the etiology and genetic basis of autism continue to drive much autism research, yet reports are emerging of this research not aligning with priorities of autistic people. Engagement of autistic people in the research process is a key way to take their perspectives on board.
