چکیده
The aim of study is to analyze the clinical and cytogenetic investigation on patients with PDD, MR and BAP from South Indian population. Cytogenetic analysis of 11 patients with PDD, 3 patients with BAP and 12 patients with MR were carried out by using human leukocyte culturing method and clinical analysis were carried out for all the cases with the help of physicians. A significantly higher number of chromosomal aberrations were observed in all groups when compared to the controls (p < 0.001). This study shows the significantly higher number of chromosomal aberrations in all the cases through karyotyping and chromosomal aberration analysis, which has to be further investigated deeply to detect the possible genetic causes of autism to provide genetic counseling, awareness and management of autistic children.

The interrelationship between the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Generic (ADOS-G) and clinical classification was studied in 184 children and adolescents with Mental Retardation (MR). The agreement between the ADI-R and ADOS-G was fair, with a substantial difference between younger and older children (5-8 vs. 8+ years). Compared with the Diag...

BACKGROUND Previously, investigators suggested that diagnostic substitution from other diagnoses, e.g., mental retardation (MR) and/or cerebral palsy (CP) to pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) is a driving factor behind increases in autism. This study evaluated potential diagnostic substitution among subjects diagnosed with PDD vs. MR or CP by examining birth characteristic overlap. METHO...

The performance of two screening instruments for pervasive developmental disorders was studied in the total population of children and adolescents with mental retardation between 4 and 18 years (N=1059) in Friesland, a northern province of the Netherlands. Parents completed the ABC, staff completed the PDD-MRS. The screening instruments were related to the ADI-R and ADOS for 184 participants. T...

Introduction Pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) are characterized by social and communication deficits, repetitive and stereotyped behaviours and onset before 3 years of age [1]. Prevalence of PDD has increased over the past 10 years and now it is ranging from 60 to 70 per 10.000 [2], with a male-to-female ratio of 3-4:1; these data do not include the Rett disorder. The dramatic increment ...
