Research on Helsmoortel–Van der Aa syndrome presented at the international EuroNDD Meeting

As part of the international collaboration on rare neurodevelopmental disorders, our research group participated in the EuroNDD Meeting in Warsaw. The meeting brought together researchers and clinicians from across Europe to discuss the latest advances in the field of neurodevelopmental disorders.

During the meeting, Lusine Harutyunyan presented a poster highlighting our recent systematic review on Helsmoortel–Van der Aa syndrome (HVDAS). The study provides a comprehensive overview of the available clinical knowledge on HVDAS, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the ADNP gene, and describes the broad spectrum of clinical features associated with the condition.

The presentation provided an excellent opportunity to share our findings with international experts, receive valuable feedback, and establish new collaborations within the field of rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders. These scientific exchanges contribute to strengthening international partnerships and advancing our understanding, diagnosis, and clinical care of individuals with HVDAS.
