Researchers from RCSI and @CHI_Ireland write in @JAMANetworkOpen on how the COVID-19 pandemic shaped infant development.

They reflect on new evidence showing complex effects of social restrictions, parenting and protective factors.

Polygenic basis of monogenic neurodevelopmental diseases. Identifying common variant contributions to a collection of heterogeneous rare neurodevelopmental conditions is interesting, but finding it difficult to appreciate the biological basis of this contribution. Fascinating work nevertheless.

I'm very excited to have our work on recessive developmental disorders published at @NatureGenet!
See here for the tweetorial (https://t.co/2CbNHkPyxV).

There were some exciting updates during the reviews which I'll highlight here... (1/n)

A Sunday read for you. A new blog post on a discovery of a noncoding mutation that causes a Mendelian cardiac arrhythmia through a fascinating mechanism: de novo creation of cardiomyocyte-specific enhancer. This adds to the list of my favorite noncoding discoveries that I've highlighted over the past couple of years. Two take homes for me are
- when searching noncoding disease variants, we tend to look at regions previously known to play a regulatory role (promoters, enhancers etc.). This work reminds us of the possibility that disease variants might be creating a new regulatory element themselves.
- when searching for causal genes, we tend to look at only those that are expressed in the disease-relevant tissues. This work reminds us that causal genes can be the ones that are not expressed in disease-relevant tissues.

Sometimes the answers come from places where we least expect to find.

Congratulations to the authors on this beautiful work!

In our latest work, we explore the contribution of rare, typically inherited, damaging genetic variants to the risk of severe developmental disorders (DDs) and establish a major role for incompletely penetrant rare variation.
