New non-coding genes that cause childhood neurodevelopmental disorders have been identified
An international consortium of scientists, with the participation of Spanish centres such as IDIBELL, CIBERER and the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital, has identified genetic variants in essential non-coding genes that cause previously undiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in patient cohorts. The findings have been published in the high-impact scientific journal Nature Genetics. Beyond […]
“Active recipes” to prevent chronic diseases: the proposal of the +ACTIU project
In Catalonia we spend about 5 and a half hours a day in sedentary behaviour, without moving, which represents a clear risk factor for the development of chronic diseases. The numbers confirm this, given that 2 out of 5 adults have this type of disease. This situation is aggravated by the lack of available outdoor […]
