Aim: To explore experiences of parents of young females with cerebral palsy (CP) and intellectual disability at the onset of puberty.
Method: This was a phenomenological qualitative study. We conducted phone interviews of parents of young females with CP and intellectual disability who had been seen in the CP center at a freestanding children's hospital within the prior 2 years.
Purpose: Transgender youth experience significant barriers to health care. Asking patients about gender identity on clinic intake forms is recommended to improve care in adult populations. Little is known about how to implement these recommendations in adolescent populations.

- Most existing phenome-wide association studies (PheWASs) have typically analyzed a limited number of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms), but this study conducted a large-scale PheWAS using data from 541 diagnoses and 25 clinical lab measures from electronic health records.
- The researchers examined associations between these diagnoses and approximately 630,000 common SNPs among 38,662 individuals, comparing findings to previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and PheWASs.
- This extensive PheWAS not only aids in generating new hypotheses and identifying phenotypes for further research but also highlights cross-phenotype associations by considering the functional significance of both protein-coding and regulatory regions
