The brief
Genome-wide association studies have identified genetic markers in infants and toddlers that influence activity levels and temperament. These markers are also associated with an increased risk of ADHD and autism.
Coverage emphasizes the potential for early identification of neurodevelopmental conditions through genetic screening. IndiaMedToday, ET HealthWorld, Technology Networks, News-Medical and Nature are among the outlets reporting on the findings.
Watch for further developments in genetic screening technologies and potential ethical discussions surrounding early diagnosis of neurodevelopmental conditions.
