Neuronal and Synaptic Dysfunction in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disability provides the latest information on Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), the lifelong neurodevelopmental disorders that present in early childhood and affect how individuals [books.google.com]

Peripheral neuropathy may be present and contribute to motor disability. MRI findings are consistent with hypomyelination with minimal or extremely slow myelination. Myelin is present in the internal capsule and is usually normal in the cerebellum. [rarediseases.org]

Strabismus may be present, and refractive errors, including hyperopia and astigmatism, are present in 23% to 50% of cases. Nystagmus and ptosis also are occasional ocular findings. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Intestinal polyps mostly present in childhood through chronic anemia, diarrhea or invagination of the small bowel. The signs and symptoms of BRRS are present from birth or become apparent in early childhood. [synapse.koreamed.org]

While most of these treatments have not been rigorously tested for safety and efficacy, there is growing interest in these treatments, with more studies looking into the possible benefits of CAM treatments. [medicalhomeportal.org]

Treatment is usually long term. It often involves medication. There are some behaviour treatments that work. [raisingchildren.net.au]

Identifying genetic causes is critical to tailoring treatments to the child. [spectrumnews.org]

Researchers hope to identify cognitive, neural systems, and molecular biomarkers specific to PTEN ASD that may serve as treatment targets. [childrenshospital.org]

There aren't biochemical markers for the disease. [10] Treatment [ edit ] Treatment is symptomatic. [10] There is no standard course of treatment for Sotos syndrome. [ citation needed ] Prognosis [ edit ] Sotos syndrome is not a life-threatening disorder [en.wikipedia.org]

Early brain imaging results have the potential to provide a more accurate prognosis as well as lead to a better understanding of neurological symptoms and responses to therapies. [childrenshospital.org]

Genetic counselling aims to educate families about the syndrome, its implications and prognosis, supporting them in making informed decisions about the future and in dealing with the emotional impact of the diagnosis. [intellectualdisability.info]

Prognosis Prognosis depends on many factors and is difficult to predict, particularly in the young child. [medicalhomeportal.org]

While it is clear that genetics can play a role in the development of certain patients, approximately 90% of patients with ASD do not have a genetic etiology identified. [cincinnatichildrens.org]

Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and exome sequencing, together with systems genetics and network analyses, are being used as tools for the study of complex disorders of unknown etiology, especially those characterized by significant genetic [mdanderson.influuent.utsystem.edu]

Abnormalities of dentition or the palate may suggest a genetic etiology. Heart Cardiac murmurs or defects may suggest a genetic syndrome. [medicalhomeportal.org]

Epidemiology There are about 100–200 affected births in the UK each year. The population prevalence is estimated at 1 in 4000 males and 1 in 8000 females (Hagerman and Hagerman, 2002). It occurs in all races and ethnic groups. [intellectualdisability.info]

This observation also suggests that generalized overgrowth might represent a “biomarker” associated with one or more homogeneous clinical and pathophysiological subtypes of ASD [33]. [journals.plos.org]

Decreased expression of axon-guidance proteins, as PLXNA4, was found in the brains of people with ASD, suggesting that dysfunctional axon-guidance protein expression may play an important role in the pathophysiology of autism [ 9 ]. [omicsonline.org]
