Background: People with intellectual disabilities are more likely to have diabetes and develop complications from it. Diabetes management is complex and insulin treatment in particular, people with intellectual disabilities may require additional support that is not always available. This review aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to managing diabetes with insulin in adults with intellectual disabilities.
Method: Patient and public involvement (PPI) was integral to the development of the research question. A systemised review was conducted across CINAHL, the British Nursing Index and MEDLINE. PRISMA guidelines were followed. Narrative synthesis of the evidence was undertaken.
Results: Barriers and facilitators to managing diabetes with insulin in people with intellectual disabilities were identified related to the individual, other people participating in their care, and broader environmental and social factors.
Conclusions: People with intellectual disabilities who use insulin, require reasonable adjustments to education, support, and a person-centred approach to facilitate supported self-management. More training for their supporters is needed and further inclusive research with PPI is recommended.

Williams Syndrome (WS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder with a prevalence of 1 in 7500 to 1 in 20,000 individuals, caused by a microdeletion in chromosome 7q11.23. Despite its distinctive clinical features, the underlying metabolic alterations remain largely unexplored.

Parental stress can be debilitating for parents and their families. This is particularly true for parents who have a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD). Effective screening and measurement of parental stress leads to accurate and effective intervention.

Purpose: Heterozygous pathogenic variants in SPAST are known to cause Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia 4 (SPG4), the most common form of HSP, characterized by progressive bilateral lower limbs spasticity with frequent sphincter disorders. However, there are very few descriptions in the literature of patients carrying biallelic variants in SPAST.
Methods: Targeted Sanger sequencing, panel sequencing and exome sequencing were used to identify the genetic causes in 9 patients from 6 unrelated families with symptoms of HSP or infantile neurodegenerative disorder.

The large-conductance calcium- and voltage-activated potassium (BK) channels, encoded by the KCNMA1 gene, play important roles in neuronal function. Mutations in KCNMA1 have been found in patients with various neurodevelopmental features, including intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Previous studies of KCNMA1 knockout mice have suggested altered activity patterns and behavioral flexibility, but it remained unclear whether these changes primarily affect immediate behavioral adaptation or longer-term learning processes.
