A conserved role for the ALS-linked splicing factor SFPQ in repression of pathogenic cryptic last exons

Nature Communications, 2021
SFPQ is a splicing factor and its mutations are associated to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. Here, the authors show that SFPQ represses the use of pathogenic cryptic last exons in zebrafish, mouse and human cells.

Lifespan trajectory of affect in Cornelia de Lange syndrome: towards a neurobiological hypothesis

Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2019
Background Depressive symptomology and low affect are comparatively common in individuals with genetic disorders such as Cornelia de Lange syndrome. However, lifespan trajectories and associated person characteristics have not been examined.

Assessing the requirements of prenatal UBE3A expression for rescue of behavioral phenotypes in a mouse model for Angelman syndrome

Molecular Autism, 2020
Background Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the loss of functional ubiquitin protein ligase E3A (UBE3A). In neurons, UBE3A expression is tightly regulated by a mechanism of imprinting which suppresses the expression ...

The Cerebellum and Neurodevelopmental Disorders [PDF]

The Cerebellum, 2015
Cerebellar dysfunction is evident in several developmental disorders, including autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and developmental dyslexia, and damage to the cerebellum early in development can have long-term effects on movement, cognition, and affective regulation.

Behavioural and psychological characteristics in Pitt-Hopkins syndrome: a comparison with Angelman and Cornelia de Lange syndromes

Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2019
Background Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder associated with intellectual disability. Although the genetic mechanisms underlying the disorder have been identified, description of its behavioural phenotype is in its ...

The behavioural phenotype of Potocki-Lupski syndrome: a cross-syndrome comparison

Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2018
Background Potocki-Lupski syndrome (PTLS) and Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) are related genomic disorders, as duplication 17p11.2 (associated with PTLS) is the reciprocal recombination product of the SMS microdeletion.

Refining the Behavioral Phenotype of Angelman Syndrome: Examining Differences in Motivation for Social Contact Between Genetic Subgroups

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
Angelman syndrome (AS) is caused by loss of information from the 15q11.2-13 region on the maternal chromosome with striking phenotypic difference from Prader–Willi syndrome in which information is lost from the same region on the paternal chromosome ...

Treatment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Adulthood [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2012
Brain development in neurodevelopmental disorders has been considered to comprise a sequence of critical periods, and abnormalities occurring during early development have been considered irreversible in adulthood. However, findings in mouse models of neurodevelopmental disorders, including fragile X, Rett syndrome, Down syndrome, and neurofibromatosis

An experimental study of executive function and social impairment in Cornelia de Lange syndrome

Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2017
Background Extreme shyness and social anxiety is reported to be characteristic of adolescents and adults with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS); however, the nature of these characteristics is not well documented.
