The purpose of our paper is to present the case of a fetus diagnosed with a complex association of cardiac anomalies: interrupted aortic arch type B, large malalignment-type ventricular septal defect, pulmonary valve dysplasia, and aberrant right subclavian artery for whom the result of genetic testing revealed 22q11.2 deletion.

Array comparative genomic hybridization in patient one and patient two revealed copy-number variant (CNV) deletions, respectively, ~ 1.45 Mb in size involving FOXF1 and an ~ 0.7 Mb in size involving FOXF1 enhancer and leaving FOXF1 intact. (researchgate.net)

The researchers said the finding is important because treatments designed for children with autism, such as widely used discrete-trial training methods, may exacerbate the anxiety that is commonplace among the population. (science20.com)
The results of our study show that of the children involved in our study no child actually met strict diagnostic criteria for an autism spectrum disorder," said Kathleen Angkustsiri, study lead author and assistant professor of developmental-behavioral pediatrics at the UC Davis MIND Institute. (science20.com)
This is very important because the literature cites rates of anywhere from 20 to 50 percent of children with the disorder also have an autism spectrum disorder. (science20.com)
To determine whether the children met the criteria for classic autism, they decided to test a subset of the children recruited from participants in a larger study of neurocognitive functioning, based on stringent methods and using multiple testing instruments. (science20.com)
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), a gold-standard assessment for autism, was administered to the children. (science20.com)

This rare subtype of ALL, a childhood leukemia, is characterized by deletions of whole chromosomes-and worse survival rates than other subtypes. (the-scientist.com)

In 80-85% of cases the deletion is new ( de novo ). (rug.nl)

Our findings lead us to question whether this is the correct label for these children who clearly have social impairments. (science20.com)
A recent study found that, at school entry in the UK, approximately 10% of children are affected by speech, language or communication impairments (Norbury et al. (brookes.ac.uk)
