is a gene involved in various biological processes and is highly expressed in the central nervous system, where it plays a key role in complement activity, brain circuit development, and cognitive function. It has been implicated as a susceptibility gene for schizophrenia and a causative factor in developmental epileptic encephalopathy, neurodevelopmental disorders, and intellectual disability. However, no MIM phenotype number has been assigned to for a specific disorder. Here, we report an individual presenting with moderate intellectual disability, anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive personality traits, and facial dysmorphisms. Trio-based whole-exome sequencing (WES) identified two heterozygous variants, c.8095A>G and c.5315T>C, both classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS) according to ACMG criteria. Computational analysis using the DOMINO tool supported an autosomal recessive inheritance model for . This study contributes to the growing evidence linking to neurodevelopmental phenotypes, highlighting the need for further investigations to clarify its pathogenic role.

Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) may experience epilepsy and challenges with movement, posture, cognition, and musculoskeletal development, which can impact their quality of life (QOL). In this study, we investigated the relationship between demographic and clinical variables as well as QOL in children with spastic CP.
Methods: Children aged 6 to 12 years with CP who were followed-up at our tertiary center were included in this cross-sectional study, regardless of the cause.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Parents of adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) face significant challenges, including high vulnerability to stress and a lack of adequate support services. However, there are currently few support systems based on a genuine assessment of their needs. This is particularly true in the French context, where there are delays in supporting families and addressing autism in adulthood.

Introduction Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare condition caused by renal resistance to the action of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) at the level of the distal tubule, resulting in impaired urinary concentration and consequent polyuria. NDI may be hereditary, most commonly X-linked due to AVPR2 gene mutations, or acquired. Objective To characterize the clinical features, management strategies, and outcomes of patients with NDI followed at a tertiary pediatric nephrology center.
