New paper from MCRI - Translational Centre for Speech Disorders in molecularpsychiatry 📄 “Genetic aetiologies for childhood speech disorder: novel pathways co-expressed during brain development” 🧬 26% of probands with #CAS had a genetic finding 👦 nature.com/articles/s4138…

New! Genome sequencing in 70 children with speech apraxia implicates multiple genes & highlights roles of chromatin regulation pathways in the developing brain in this trait. Led by MCRI - Translational Centre for Speech Disorders/WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) & published open access in molecularpsychiatry: nature.com/articles/s4138…

🆕paper from the Speech and Language team at MCRI, identifying new genes for severe childhood #speech disorder | MCRI - Translational Centre for Speech Disorders Published open access in molecularpsychiatry 👉 nature.com/articles/s4138…

The analysis 🔸doubled the number of genes known for speech #apraxia, with 15 new #genes identified. 🔸showed the diagnostic yield for severe #speechdisorders is comparable to that for other conditions like #autism & #intellectualdisability

A new paper from MCRI - Translational Centre for Speech Disorders, published in JMG, has identified #FOXP2 as the primary gene to cause a severe speech disorder- childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). 1/5 Read the paper here ➡️ jmg.bmj.com/content/early/… #childhoodapraxiaofspeech #speechdisorder
