Genetic defects causes cerebral palsy in children: Study
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Genetic defects underlie about a fourth of Chinese children affected by cerebral palsy, and not a lack of oxygen at birth as previously thought, new research has found.
Cerebral palsy is a disorder affecting one's ability to move. It is the most common motor disability in children, with symptoms emerging in infancy and early childhood.
The disability is sometimes also associated with autism and intellectual deficiencies.
