Australian Study Seeks Genetic Roots of Cerebral Palsy

Australian researchers are recruiting 10,000 people to participate in the world’s largest study of the possible genetic causes of cerebral palsy. The study will include 5,000 people from families with an affected child and 5,000 people from unaffected families. Researchers will collect genetic samples by taking cheek swabs from mothers and their children. Cerebral palsy, which affects one in 500 children worldwide, is one of the most serious pregnancy/birth complications. People with cerebral palsy lack control of their movement and posture as a result of brain injury in the neuro-motor region. Symptoms range from poor muscle coordination to quadriplegia.
