Genetics most likely responsible for quater of cerebral palsy cases in Chinese-Australian study

Genetic defects are most likely responsible for 24.5 percent of the cerebral palsy (CP) cases involved in a new study, Chinese and Australian researchers have found.

In the study researchers from China's Fudan University and Zhengzhou University and from Australia's University of Adelaide conducted the world's largest study of CP genetics, involving more than 1,500 Chinese children with CP.

The study with Chinese researchers as first authors was published in the prestigious scientific journal, Nature Medicine, on May 1.
