SUMMARY:Molecular Investigations into the Causes of Cerebral Palsy
DESCRIPTION:
 Presented by:  Nigel Paneth, MD, MPH\n
 Professor 
 of Epidemiology and Pediatrics\n
 College of 
 Human Medicine, Michigan State University\n
 \n
 At the end of the activity (presentation), the 
 participants will be better able to: 1.Appreciate 
 the prevalence and burden of cerebral 
 palsy in the U.S.; 2.Gain an understanding of 
 the major risks of cerebral palsy; 3.Learn about 
 the use of the transcriptome (mRNA expression) 
 in understanding patho-physiologic pathways 
 that can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders; 
 and 4.Understand how archived newborn 
 blood spots, leftover from newborn screening, 
 can be used to provide clues to the causes 
 of cerebral palsy and perhaps other perinatal 
 conditions.\n
