Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rare damaging genetic variation accounts for a substantial proportion of the risk of rare developmental disorders (DDs), but common genetic variants as well as environmental factors, including prematurity, also contribute. Little is known about the interplay between prematurity and genetic variation in influencing phenotypic outcomes in DDs, nor about how genetic factors may contribute to risk of...
