Presbycusis: ultra-rare genetic mutations responsible for a quarter of cases occurring around the age of 50
Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, involves genetic and environmental factors. A genomic analysis can identify gene variants whose pathogenicity subsequently needs to be confirmed. As a general rule, frequent variants have little or very little effect; it is their cumulative impact in several genes that explains the impairment. Ultra-rare variants, on the other hand, have a strong impact...

Autism
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD). It appears in early childhood (before the age of 36 months) and affects children's developmental areas in different ways and to different degrees. In most cases, its effects impact on autistic individuals' level of independence and social interaction and participation. It is therefore important to diagnose the condition and take action as early as...
