encodes a nuclear protein, with functions in pre-mRNA splicing and the formation of nuclear speckles via liquid-liquid phase separation. Despite its critical role in cellular function, the association between and neurodevelopmental disorders is not well-understood. In this study, we reported a case of a patient exhibiting developmental delay, intellectual disability, delayed language development, facial dysmorphism, macrocephaly, short hands and feet, hyperphagia, and hypotonia, which are similar to the characteristics of previously reported cases of SRRM2-associated neurodevelopmental disorders. Notably, the patient became overweight and subsequently developed several obesity-related complications due to uncontrolled hyperphagia. Employing whole exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing, we identified a novel missense mutation in (NM_016333: c.4661A > T, p.Q1554L). This mutation is classified as "Likely Pathogenic" based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guideline. Overall, this study contributes to the expanding spectrum of known mutations in , enhances our understanding of its clinical implications, and offers crucial data for the diagnosis and management of affected individuals.

Maternal Inflammatory Proteins in Pregnancy and Neurodevelopmental Disorders at Age 10 Years.

JAMA Psychiatry

March 2025

Center for Neuropsychiatric Schizophrenia Research (CNSR& Center for Clinical Intervention and Neuropsychiatric Schizophrenia Research (CINS), Mental Health Centre Glostrup, Copenhagen University Hospital - Mental Health Services CPH, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Importance: Maternal inflammation during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, and cognitive deficits in early childhood. However, little is known about the contributions of a wider range of inflammatory proteins to this risk.

Objective: To determine whether maternal inflammatory proteins during pregnancy are associated with the risk of NDDs and executive functions (EF) in middle childhood and to identify protein patterns associated with NDDs and EF.

Background: Many parents are the primary caregivers for their adult children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. While there can be many benefits of caregiving, there can also be negative consequences for the parent caregiver and, in turn, for their adult child with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Given the critical care that parents provide to their adult children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, we aimed to understand the supports parents need to be effective caregivers.

The fundamental skills for motor coordination and motor control emerge through development. Neurodevelopmental disorders such as developmental coordination disorder (DCD) lead to impaired acquisition of motor skills. This study investigated motor behaviors that reflect the core symptoms of human DCD through the use of BXD recombinant inbred strains of mice that are known to have divergent phenotypes in many behavioral traits, including motor activity.
