Purpose: is one of the most frequently mutated genes in intellectual disability cohorts. Thus, far few adult-aged patients with -related disorder have been described, which limits our understanding of the disease's natural history and our ability to counsel patients and their families.
Methods: Data on patients aged 18+ years with -related disorder were collected through an online questionnaire completed by clinicians and parents.
Article Synopsis
- ARID1A and ARID1B duplications are linked to Coffin-Siris syndrome, but ARID1B duplications have not been previously associated with a specific clinical phenotype until now.
- A study analyzed 16 cases of ARID1A and 13 cases of ARID1B duplications, revealing that ARID1A duplications resulted in more severe symptoms, including intellectual disabilities and growth delays, while both groups displayed similar features.
- The research identified unique DNA methylation patterns in ARID1A duplication patients, which differ from those with loss-of-function variants, suggesting the presence of a distinct clinical phenotype for both ARID1A and ARID1B duplications, indicating a new type of
Objective: Elbow flexion contractures are common complications of neonatal brachial plexus palsy, but evidence on how to treat these contractures is weak. This study compared the treatment of elbow flexion contractures using a dynamic orthosis or serial circular casting.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with one-year follow-up.

To investigate health-care use (HCU) and information needs of children aged 0-18 years with neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP), a cross-sectional study was performed. Patients and/or parents seen in our NBPP clinic were invited to complete a survey comprising questions on HCU due to NBPP and current information needs. Outcomes were described for three age-groups (0-1/2-9/10-18 years), based on follow-up status (early/late/no-discharge).
