Childhood Onset Psychosis: A large UK case series
Childhood-Onset Psychosis (COP) is a rare and severe variant of schizophrenia, with a UK incidence of ~ 1 in 500,000. This paper presents the largest UK case series of COP, comprising 39 famili...

Saturation genome editing of RNU4-2 reveals distinct dominant and recessive neurodevelopmental disorders
Recently, de novo variants in an 18 nucleotide region in the centre of RNU4-2 were shown to cause ReNU syndrome, a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) that is predicted to affect tens of thous...
