Andres Moreno-De-Luca,David W. Evans,David W. Evans,K. B. Boomer,Ellen Hanson,Ellen Hanson,Raphael Bernier,Robin P. Goin-Kochel,Scott M. Myers,Scott M. Myers,Thomas D. Challman,Thomas D. Challman,Daniel Moreno-De-Luca,Mylissa M. Slane,Abby Hare,Wendy K. Chung,John E. Spiro,W. Andrew Faucett,Christa Lese Martin,David H. Ledbetter,David H. Ledbetter +20 more
TL;DR: Analysis of families with de novo CNVs provides the least confounded estimate of the effect size of the 16p11.2 deletion and significant parent-proband correlations indicate that family background contributes to the phenotypic variability seen in this and perhaps other CNV disorders and may have implications for counseling families regarding their children's developmental and psychiatric prognoses.
Adaptive and maladaptive correlates of repetitive behavior and restricted interests in persons with down syndrome and developmentally-matched typical children: a two-year longitudinal sequential design.
TL;DR: Time 1 RBRI predicted Time 2 adaptive behavior in typically developing children, whereas for participants with DS, Time 1RBRI predicted poor adaptive outcome (Child Behavior Checklist) at Time 2.

Analysis of candidate genes and hypertension in African American adults.
Keith E. Whitfield,Xiaopan Yao,K. B. Boomer,George P. Vogler,Mark Hayward,David J. Vandenbergh +5 more
TL;DR: Previous findings of associations of various polymorphisms of ACE to hypertension and support the association of hypertension to the A allele of ACE4 are extended and suggest that future studies of altered ACE protein activity are warranted.
