Article Synopsis
  • * This study compared WM microstructural differences between individuals with VCFS and their unaffected siblings, measuring factors like fractional anisotropy (FA), axial diffusivity (AD), and radial diffusivity (RD) using DTI scanning and neuropsychological tests.
  • * Results indicated that individuals with VCFS exhibited lower FA and AD in several important WM tracts compared to siblings, with decreased microstructural integrity correlating with poorer cognitive performance.
