Article Synopsis
- Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) pose significant diagnostic challenges in pediatric genetics, necessitating advanced tools like whole exome sequencing (WES) to identify genetic variants in affected children.
- A study of 176 Spanish-speaking pediatric patients found that the overall diagnostic yield for WES was 17.1%, with varying yields based on specific disorders: 20.8% for intellectual disability (ID), 12.7% for ASD + ID, and 3.2% for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) alone.
- The study supports a sequential diagnostic approach using WES followed by parental testing to enhance accuracy and cost-effectiveness, especially for children with syndromic ID.
Objective: To evaluate if the two-layer bandage is more effective than the crepe bandage in the healing of venous ulcers after 12 weeks of follow-up.
Design: Randomized multicentre controlled clinical trial.
Location: 22 Primary Health Centers of Madrid.
