Neurodevelopmental Phenotypes and Brain Anomalies in Individuals With Heterozygous SEMA6A Variants

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
SEMA6A plays a role in cell migration and axon guidance in the developing central nervous system. Phenotypes seen in eleven individuals heterozygous for SEMA6A variants included developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism/autistic behaviors, behavioral abnormalities, attention disorders, hypotonia, and brain anomalies.

Characteristics of unilateral cerebral palsy according to gestational age at birth: A retrospective study

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) affects 826 children in the Canadian CP Registry: 69% born at term, 15% 32 to 37 weeks, and 16% less than 32 weeks. Gestational age at birth did not affect impairments such as vision or hearing impairment, ambulation, seizures, or feeding difficulty.

Radiation-free 3D Ultrasound Can Provide Sagittal Profile of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

open access: yes, 2018
Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound could provide non-ionizing and accessible evaluation of vertebrae features and spinal curvature. In this study, 3D ultrasound was demonstrated to be reliable and valid for spinal sagittal curvature of patients with ...

Predictive utility of a simple cranial magnetic resonance imaging score at term‐equivalent age for cerebral palsy

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the Total Abnormality Score (TAS) from cMRI at term‐equivalent age as a predictor of cerebral palsy (CP) in 137 infants born preterm or with low birthweight. Infants who developed CP had significantly higher TAS values (median 11 vs 2), with a TAS cut‐off of 9.5 demonstrating high sensitivity (88.9%) and specificity (91.4%) for CP ...
