Unmasking genetic etiologies in neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by Cerebral Palsy: insights from integrative genomic approaches

Ugur Ozbek
IntroductionCerebral Palsy (CP) is characterized by permanent, non-degenerative motor function deficits with increasing evidence of genetic contributions. Although prenatal and perinatal risk factors are well recognized, the underlying etiopathology remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to improve diagnostic accuracy and elucidate the genetic architecture of CP and CP-like phenotypes through systematic genomic analyses.MethodsPatients with clinically confirmed CP or CP-like presentat
