The TRPM3 gene, part of the transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel family, plays crucial roles in sensory perception and ion transport. Mutations in TRPM3 are linked to a range of neurological and developmental disorders. The c.

The presence of active primitive reflexes (APRs) in preschool and school-aged children indicates neuromotor immaturity. Studies show dependencies between the preserved activity of primary reflexes and developmental problems such as learning difficulties (problems with reading, writing, reduced mathematics skills, and dyslexia), difficulties with coordination, and attention deficit.

The recessive loss-of-function pathogenic variants are associated with distal arthrogryposis with impaired proprioception and touch (DAIPT). Here we present three new DAIPT patients.

The presence of active primitive reflexes (APRs) in healthy preschool children can be an expression of immaturity in the functioning of the nervous system. Their trace presence may not significantly affect the quality of child functioning. They may also undergo spontaneous and complete integration within the stages of child development.
