University of Otago–Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka has led international research uncovering a new genetic cause for a rare developmental disorder that profoundly impacts brain growth and function in children.

Researchers assessed the role of recessive genetic variants in developmental disorders, suggesting reanalysis of genetic data could improve understanding and diagnosis of conditions for millions of ...

Organ maturation is an emerging focus in the fields of organoid and developmental biology. The authors show that high tonicity drives the maturation of renal collecting ducts in vitro and in vivo, ...

Thousands of children with severe developmental disorders have benefited from more targeted treatments and support with genetic insights from the large-scale Deciphering Developmental Disorders (DDD) ...

Researchers find different genetic profiles related to two trajectories that autistic children tend to follow. One is linked to early diagnosis and communication difficulties in infancy. The other is ...

Researchers have conducted what they say is the largest and most diverse study to date on how recessive genetic changes contribute to developmental disorders. The team, headed by researchers at the ...

Scientists have conducted the largest and most diverse study to date on how recessive genetic changes contribute to developmental disorders. They found that most undiagnosed cases that are due to ...

Developmental genetics in filamentous fungi investigates the inherited programmes and molecular circuits that direct hyphal growth, multicellular differentiation and the production of complex ...

Two recent studies in Developmental Cell and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shed light on the gene-mediated geometries and forces within embryonic development that give rise to ...

Bringing innovative therapeutics to market requires faster, smarter clinical development strategies. As R&D investments continue to rise, genetic analysis has become an essential tool for improving ...
