Introdução: O autismo é uma patologia complexa do neurodesenvolvimento, sem terapia curativa disponível, consistindo o tratamento de base na planificação educativa e comportamental. O recurso à farmacoterapia justifica-se quando existem comportamentos disruptivos, que interferem negativamente no sucesso educativo e na qualidade de vida das crianças e suas famílias. Neste contexto, a risperidona tornou-se o anti...
Recent reports by the Autism Genome Project (AGP) consortium and other groups show that Copy Number Variants (CNVs), while individually rare, collectively may explain a large fraction of the etiology of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The goal of this study was to establish the clinical and etiological relevance for ASD of potentially pathogenic CNVs identified in a Portuguese population sample by whole genome...
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have a strong genetic component, with an estimated heritability of over 90%1. Recent studies carried out by the Autism Genome Project (AGP) consortium suggest that rare Copy Number Variants (CNVs), characterized by submicroscopic chromosomal deletions and duplications, are more frequent in ASD compared to controls, and may play an important role in susceptibility to this disorder...

As perturbações do neurodesenvolvimento são das patologias crónicas mais frequentes da infância e com tendência a aumentar nas sociedades modernas. Têm na grande maioria dos casos um percurso crónico e com limitação da aprendizagem necessária para a integração na sociedade de um modo autónomo.A Sociedade de Pediatria do Neurodesenvolvimento da Sociedade Portuguesa de Pediatria procedeu em 2008 e 2009 ao levanta...

Shwachman–Diamond syndrome (SDS) is caused by mutations in the SBDS gene, most of which are the result of gene conversion events involving its highly homologous pseudogene SBDSP. Here we describe the molecular characterization of the first documented gross deletion in the SBDS gene, in a 4-year-old Portuguese girl with SDS. The clinical diagnosis was based on the presence of hematological symptoms (severe anemi...
