Article Synopsis
  • The purpose of the study was to evaluate new human genes and variants related to ocular congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (oCCDDs) using genetic sequencing methods.
  • Researchers prioritized 43 human genes and 57 zebrafish genes through CRISPR/Cas9 knockout assays in zebrafish, ultimately generating mutants for 17 of those genes.
  • The study identified three novel genes linked to cranial motor development and demonstrated that certain human gene variants may impair protein function, suggesting they could contribute to oCCDDs.

The current study was designed to investigate the prevalence of, and risk markers for, dating violence victimization among autistic youth.
