Scientists have now discovered what happens on a molecular level when the gene is mutated in mice, and how this changes the mice's behavior. This is an important step towards understanding how mutations in the SETD5 gene may cause cognitive changes in patients
New research from King's College London and UCL challenges the idea that a child's weight reflects the way their parents feed them. Instead, parents appear to adapt feeding styles in response to their children's natural body weight, which is largely genetically influenced
