Language Profiles of School-Aged Children with 22q11.2 Copy Number Variants Open
Although it is known that copy number variants (CNVs) on chromosome 22, such as 22q11.2 deletion (22q11.2DS) and 22q11.2 duplication (22q11.2Dup) syndromes, are associated with higher risk for neurodevelopmental issues, few studies have ex…

Parent-Reported Social-Communicative Skills of Children with 22q11.2 Copy Number Variants and Siblings Open
22q11.2 deletion (22q11.2DS) and 22q11.2 duplication (22q11.2Dup) confer risk for neurodevelopmental difficulties, but the characterization of speech-language and social skills in 22q11.2Dup is still limited. Therefore, this study aims to …
