| Core Tip |
This editorial interprets a recent cohort study reporting no clear association between consanguinity and neurodevelopmental disorders by highlighting the distinction between monogenic and multifactorial conditions and the impact of cohort heterogeneity on the detectability of risk. It emphasizes the importance of risk-stratified clinical approaches, including early developmental screening and culturally sensitive genetic counseling, and calls for prospective, genomically informed research to clarify disease-specific associations. |
