Up to half of children with severe developmental disorders of probable genetic origin remain without a genetic diagnosis; here, in a systematic and nationwide study of 1,133 children with severe, undiagnosed developmental disorders, and their parents, exome sequencing and array-based detection of chromosomal rearrangements reveals novel genes causing developmental disorders, increasing the proportion of children that can now be diagnosed to 31%. Until recently, the discovery of the genetic causes of monogenic disorders has been predominantly phenotype-driven. Up to half of all children with severe developmental disorders of probable genetic origin remain without a genetic diagnosis. This publication from The Deciphering Developmental Disorders Study presents a UK-wide systematic genetic analysis of 1,133 children with severe, undiagnosed developmental disorders, and their parents. Exome sequencing and array-based detection of chromosomal rearrangements revealed 12 previously unknown developmental disorder genes and increased the proportion of children that could be diagnosed by 10%. Despite three decades of successful, predominantly phenotype-driven discovery of the genetic causes of monogenic disorders1, up to half of children with severe developmental disorders of probable genetic origin remain without a genetic diagnosis. Particularly challenging are those disorders rare enough to have eluded recognition as a discrete clinical entity, those with highly variable clinical manifestations, and those that are difficult to distinguish from other, very similar, disorders. Here we demonstrate the power of using an unbiased genotype-driven approach2 to identify subsets of patients with similar disorders. By studying 1,133 children with severe, undiagnosed developmental disorders, and their parents, using a combination of exome sequencing3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and array-based detection of chromosomal rearrangements, we discovered 12 novel genes associated with developmental disorders. These newly implicated genes increase by 10% (from 28% to 31%) the proportion of children that could be diagnosed. Clustering of missense mutations in six of these newly implicated genes suggests that normal development is being perturbed by an activating or dominant-negative mechanism. Our findings demonstrate the value of adopting a comprehensive strategy, both genome-wide and nationwide, to elucidate the underlying causes of rare genetic disorders.

Investigators from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Regenerative Medicine and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) have identified a neural circuit mechanism involved in preserving the specificity of memories. They also identified a genetic 'switch' that can slow down memory generalization—the loss of specific details over time that occurs in both age-related memory impairment and in post-traumatic stress disorder, in which emotions originally produced by traumatic experiences are elicited in response to innocuous cues that have little resemblance to the traumatic memory.

What causes hair loss? Turns out, a variety of factors may be to blame. Find out how nutrient deficiencies, COVID-19, and autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata can cause you to lose your hair.
Dramatic Baritone Leonard Warren. Warren was a leading artist on the Metropolitan Opera stage from 1938 until his untimely death in 1960. To this day, he is remembered as one of the most prominent baritones in recorded history. His death took place on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera, as he performed in Verdi's La forza del destino (The Force of Destiny). He was an artist whose life began and ended on the stage, quite literally. #VerdiMuseum
Scientists from King's College London found out that DNA can be used to predict the educational attainment of an individual. This advancement could prove useful in identifying children that could have learning difficulties.
Associate Professor Alison Cree, from the University of Otago, talks about the importance of translocation for the conservation of our native species. In New Zealand, the Department of Conservation has the authority to approve translocation proposals. They do this in consultation with Māori as well as species experts. Point of interest Discuss other conservation methods you may have heard of. Are any of these methods linked to translocation?
