Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare, neurodegenerative, inherited disease that affects several organs in the body. It is primarily characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, telangiectasias, immune defects, and a predisposition to malignancy. This condition is caused by mutations in the ATM gene, which plays a critical role in cell cycle control, DNA repair, and cellular response […]

Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. While ADHD is often thought of as a childhood disorder, it can continue into adulthood and throughout a person’s life. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the genetic […]

Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a pattern of behavior that can include difficulty in maintaining attention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness that is more pronounced than typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. While the exact cause of ADHD is not fully understood, research has identified a strong genetic […]

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition that involves persistent challenges in social interaction, speech and nonverbal communication, and restricted/repetitive behaviors. The symptoms are usually seen in the early developmental period. However, they may not fully manifest until social demands exceed limited capacities. Recent advancements in genetics have led to the identification of […]

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a wide range of symptoms and levels of impairment. Genetic factors play a significant role in the development of ASD, and recent advances in genetic testing have made it possible to identify specific genetic markers associated with the disorder. One such marker is the […]

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interactions. The cause of ASD is multifactorial, with genetics playing a significant role. One of the genes that has been linked to ASD is BPIFA3. Understanding the symptoms associated with BPIFA3 gene mutations and the availability of genetic testing can […]

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior. Although ASD can be diagnosed at any age, it is said to be a “developmental disorder” because symptoms generally appear in the first two years of life. Understanding the genetic components of ASD can help in early diagnosis and intervention, which are […]

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition that involves persistent challenges in social interaction, speech, nonverbal communication, and restricted/repetitive behaviors. The manifestations of ASD can vary significantly across individuals, but they typically appear in early childhood and affect a person’s ability to function socially across multiple settings, including home, school, and work. One […]

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction in varying degrees. The search for the underlying causes of ASD has led scientists to explore genetic factors that may contribute to the development of this condition. One such gene that has come under investigation is the MYO16 gene. […]

The MXRA5 gene, also known as the Matrix-Remodeling Associated 5 gene, has been identified as a significant marker in the study of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Understanding the symptoms associated with MXRA5 gene mutations and the significance of genetic testing can provide invaluable insights for families and individuals navigating the complexities of autism.
