Genetic testing in cerebral palsy with clinical and neuroimaging variables
Abstract Aim To optimize genetic testing in children with cerebral palsy (CP) by using clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) variables. Method In this mixed methods study, we surveyed current approaches to genetic testing by Australian clinicians involved in the diagnosis of CP.

Mobility device use in children with cerebral palsy
Abstract Aims To quantify the number and types of mobility devices used by children with cerebral palsy (CP) and explore the relationships between Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS) level, age, insurance, income, and number and types of devices. Method This was a secondary analysis of a cohort from a larger randomized controlled trial.

Respiratory admissions and impact of COVID‐19 lockdowns for children with severe cerebral palsy
In a population cohort of children with severe cerebral palsy, there was a reduced frequency of hospitalization for respiratory illness during periods of restricted social contact, implemented to reduce transmission of COVID‐19. This mirrored trends in the wider population and underlines the importance of community viral transmission in these children.

In this prospective sub‐study testing the predictive validity of General Movements Assessment (GMA) and/or Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE), 785 infants with birth/infant‐detectable risk factors, aged 12 to 40 weeks corrected age were recruited. GMA and HINE were reliable and accurate tools for screening high‐risk populations in India,

Rare dysfunctional SCN2A variants are associated with malformation of cortical development
Abstract Objective SCN2A encodes the voltage‐gated sodium (Na+) channel α subunit NaV1.2, which is important for the generation and forward and back propagation of action potentials in neurons. Genetic variants in SCN2A are associated with a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders.
