How genetic findings in cerebral palsy can impact treatment

What is it about?

Identifying a genetic cause of a neurodevelopmental disorder can provide opportunities for precision medicine and developing new treatments. In this review, we explore how genetic technologies are improving to better detect genetic causes. We also explore how a genetic cause can help patients and clinicians find the best treatments currently available as well as improve preclinical development and trials.
