About this Research Topic
Our primary goal is to address the pressing need for in-depth research on neurodevelopmental disorders and their intricate connections with comorbidities. By identifying novel variants and genes associated with rare NDDs, characterizing their functional aspects, and establishing genotype- phenotype correlations through large cohort studies, we aspire to unravel the underlying pathophysiology. Through this exploration, we aim to bridge the gap between benchside research and practical applications at the bedside, paving the way for improved diagnostics, treatment modalities, and ultimately enhancing the quality of life for individuals affected by NDDs.
Researchers are encouraged to submit Brief Research Reports, Case Reports, Mini Reviews, Opinions, Original Research, Reviews and Systematic Reviews relevant to this article collection that will cover topics such as (but not limited to):
• The genomic and molecular strategies for developing treatment modalities for neurodevelopmental disorders.
• The application of advanced techniques such as Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic/Single Gene Defects (PGT-M), Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), and Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT).
Our scope extends beyond conventional boundaries to foster a holistic understanding of the challenges posed by NDDs and comorbidities. By disseminating insights gained from benchside research, we aim to contribute to the broader scientific community’s knowledge base and catalyze advancements in the field.
