Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a significant male predisposition, yet the underlying genetic mechanisms driving this sex-specific risk remain poorly understood. Given the hemizygous state of X-linked variants in males, we hypothesized that X-chromosomal genetic variations may contribute to CP susceptibility in male patients. METHODS: We performed an X-chromosome-wide...
