Enabled by a $2.5million Medical Research Future Fund grant received in 2021, the ‘Australian functional Diagnostics platform for Advancing Personalised Treatment of Congenital Muscle […]
Abstract Objective To quantify the association between necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and neurodevelopmental disability (NDI) in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Study design ELBW survivors born 2011–2017 and evaluated at 16–26 months corrected age in the Vermont Oxford Network (VON) ELBW Follow-Up Project were included. Logistic regression determined the adjusted relative […]

With the new method, the cells in individual organs of animals can be genetically modified in a mosaic-like manner (symbol image generated with Midjourney). Credit: ETH Zurich One proven method for tracking down the genetic causes of diseases is to knock out a single gene in animals and study the consequences this has for the […]
Researchers suggested in a recent study that broad genetic testing could help safe millions of other children. The results of clinical trial were published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Data showed testing sick newborns full genetic blueprint is nearly twice as good at finding genetic problems or abnormalities compared to narrower, more […]
An Australian-first biobank will be established to improve and discover new treatments for children with genetic muscle diseases. The National Muscle Disease Bio-databank, co-led by Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Monash University and Alfred Health, will advance research into understanding why children develop genetic muscle diseases. The project forms part of a $2.5 million Medical Research […]
