Research on Rare Bone Disorder Reveals New Insights into Autism - Times Union

timesunion.com — “Sanford-Burnham researchers discover the molecular basis of autistic symptoms in children with a rare bone disorder— findings that also provide new insights for the general autistic population. Children with multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE), an inherited genetic disease, suffer from multiple growths on their bones that cause pain and disfigurement. The study, published online the week of March 12 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, also defines the molecular and physioView full resource at timesunion.com

Genetic Link To Blindness Probed By Researchers - QualityPoint Technologies

qualitypointtech.net — “University of Leeds researchers have used next-generation DNA sequencing techniques to discover what causes a rare form of inherited eye disorders, including cataracts and glaucoma, in young children. The findings should make it easier to identify families with this condition who are at risk of conceiving children with severely impaired vision, so they can receive appropriate genetic counselling. The work, co-led with colleagues at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, may also lead to newView full resource at qualitypointtech.net
