Neurogenetics studies the role of genetics in the development and function of the nervous system. It considers neural characteristics as phenotypes (i.e. manifestations, measurable or not, of the genetic make-up of an individual), and is mainly based on the observation that the nervous systems of individuals, even of those belonging to the same ...

neurogenetics presents research that contributes to better understanding of the genetic basis of normal and abnormal function of the nervous system. The journal publishes findings in humans and other organisms that help explain neurological disease mechanisms, and papers from many fields such as biophysics, cell biology, human genetics ...

Neurogenetics is a new field of scientific research that uses recent advances in genome sequencing in order to better understand the cause of brain and nerve disorders. The Yale Medicine Neurogenetics Program offers whole exome sequencing, an affordable and efficient technique of pinpointing genetic factors of inherited disease.

The Stanford Neurogenetics and Neurogenomics program houses experts in: mitochondrial disease, leukodystrophies, neuromuscular disorders, and severe epilepsy syndromes, as well as undiagnosed neurologic conditions.

In this Collection, we bring together some recent publications appearing in Brain. Each was selected to illustrate the impact of genomics on neurology and highlight emerging themes in the neurogenetics space. Technological advancements, along …

This review aims to introduce key genetic concepts and to illustrate how these principles apply in cases of rare, single-gene neurologic diseases as well as more common, polygenic diseases that are encountered frequently in clinical practice. Keywords: Genetic therapies; Monogenic neurologic diseases; Neurogenetics; Polygenic diseases.

In this Overview of Neuron’s special review issue on neurogenetics, we reflect on progress made over the last two decades and highlight the challenges as well as the exciting opportunities for the future.

Given the increasing role genetic diagno-sis and treatment is playing in neurologic care, we aim to summarize basic genetic concepts and to provide a frame-work for approaching both rare and common neurogenetic diseases.

2021年8月4日 · Neurogenetics lies at the intersection of Neuroscience and Genetics, where genetic approaches are applied to the study of nervous system development, function, and plasticity. These two fields have rapidly advanced over the past few decades, especially as leaps in novel technologies have paved the way for an expansion in experimental tools.

2018年8月8日 · Neurogenetics has evolved considerably over the past 20 years. Advancements in human genome sequencing have led to the identification of mutations that cause neurologic disease and to fundamentally new insights into disease pathophysiology.
