The role of parental cognitive, behavioral, and motor profiles in clinical variability in individuals with chromosome 16p11.2 deletions.

For: All,

This study shows that even when a child’s 16p11.2 deletion happens “out of the blue,” family traits—such as parents’ learning, social, and motor strengths—still influence how that child is affected, helping explain why children with the same genetic change can have very different abilities and support needs.
