Funded Activity Summary

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the commonest neurological disability in children, affecting 1 in every 500 children. This research will investigate genetic causes of CP by testing families with and without CP for a range of genetic alterations that change fetal protection to inflammation with resultant brain damage and CP. Research in to the causes of CP will allow prevention strategies to be developed, to ultimately reduce social and financial costs of CP for the patient, their family and the community.
