Genetic variant linked to childhood neurodevelopmental delays, Swedish study finds

A chromosomal variation affecting roughly 1 in 1,000 people shows measurable impacts on brain development in children, according to new research from Swedish twins tracked into adulthood. The findings could help clinicians identify at-risk children earlier and inform genetic counseling for families, while opening new markets for diagnostic testing and targeted interventions.
