    Författare :Lisa Dinkler; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Eating Disorders; Anorexia Nervosa; Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder; Neurodevelopmental Disorders; Twin study; Emotion recognition; Eye tracking; Prevalence;

    Sammanfattning : Restrictive Eating Disorders (EDs), including Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and Anorexia Nervosa (AN), are characterised by severely restricted food intake, commonly leading to substantial weight loss and significantly low weight, and the need for nutritional supplementation. The overarching aim of this thesis was to elucidate specific aetiological, epidemiological, and neurodevelopmental aspects of ARFID and AN, including the genetic aetiology of AN, the link between AN and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the prevalence of ARFID, and the comorbidity of ARFID with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).

  3. 22. Autism : educational outcomes and self-harm in adolescents and young adults

    Författare :Isidora Stark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Autism is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental conditions worldwide, and autistic individuals face challenges in daily functioning related to differences and difficulties in social interaction and communication along with intense interests and behaviours. In the past, this heterogenous and common condition was considered to be rare. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Risks, correlates, and consequences of the extended psychosis phenotype

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia entail substantial suffering for the affected individuals and their networks. Traditionally, these disorders come as diagnosable entities that you either have or have not. However, recent epidemiological research has shown that symptoms of psychotic disorder, i.e. LÄS MER

  5. 24. AD/HD and autism spectrum disorders in adults

    Författare :Björn Hofvander; Malmö Rättspsykiatri; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Behaviour disorders; Comorbidity; AD HD; Autism spectrum disorders; Outcome;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are early-onset, but often life-time impairing, neurodevelopmental disorders. They are highly overlapping and seem to carry considerable risks of negative outcomes, psychiatrically and psychosocially. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Identification of Candidate Genes in Four Human Disorders

    Författare :Malin Melin; Niklas Dahl; Anders Isaksson; Juha Kere; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Genetics; Ichthyosis; Leukodystrophy; Kostmann disease; Autism; Genetic disorders; Candidate gene; Genetik;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis has been to identify genes and gene regions underlying four different disorders. In papers I-IV, positional cloning methods, such as linkage, association and haplotype analysis have been used for the identification of genomic regions associated with the ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS), adult-onset autosomal dominant leukodystrophy (ADLD) and Kostmann disease.
