Developmental Disabilities
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Developmental Disabilities'Disorders in which there is a delay in development based on that expected for a given age level or stage of development. These impairments or disabilities originate before age 18, may be expected to continue indefinitely, and constitute a substantial impairment. Biological and nonbiological factors are involved in these disorders.

Novel susceptibility locus at chromosome 6q16.3-22.31 in a family with GEFS+.
18 Oct 2009 
BACKGROUND: Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is a familial epilepsy syndrome with extremely variable expressivity. Mutations in 5 genes that raise susceptibility to GEFS+ have been discovered, but they account for only a small ... Read more...
Randomized trial of a parenting intervention for very preterm infants: outcome at 2 years.
29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: To determine the efficacy of a neonatal parenting intervention for improving development in very preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN: A cluster-randomized, controlled trial with a cross-over design and washout period was conducted in 6 ... Read more...
Moderate hypothermia to treat perinatal asphyxial encephalopathy.
29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Whether hypothermic therapy improves neurodevelopmental outcomes in newborn infants with asphyxial encephalopathy is uncertain. METHODS: We performed a randomized trial of infants who were less than 6 hours of age and had a gestational ... Read more...
