2 години списание ЈРТДД

Почитувани читатели,

Денес, 26 април 2020 година се навршуваат точно две години од како бев назначен за глаевн и одговорен уредник на списанието Journal for ReAttach Therapy and Developmental Diversities. Издавач на списанието е ReAttach Therapy International Foundation од Холандија, а од поново време се вклучи и Македонското начно здружение за аутизам. Морам да признаам дека ова беше одлична валидација на моите претходни 15 годишни напори како главен и одговорен уредник на списанието Дефектолошка теорија и практика во која несебично го вложував својот труд и знаење во неговиот растеж. За овој втор роденден подготвивме интересна Прези презентација за што и благодарам на техничката секретарка Андреа Ивановска за техничката изведба на истата. Благодарност секако заслужува и веб администраторот Ѓорѓи Поп Ѓорѓиев со кого деноноќно работиме на подобрување на функционалноста на веб страницата, ажурирање на нови информации, итн. На крај бескрајна благодарност заслужуваат издвачите Паула и Фредерик Веркамп Бартоломеус кои несебично вложуваат сопствени финансиски средства во развој на ова ново електронско списание. 

Ние продолжуваме натаму со многу жар, љубов и посветеност да го градиме ова интернационално списание. Идејата е да биде што повеќе читано, цитирано и да привлечеме атрактивни автори од целиот свет. Доколку сте заинтересирани да ги видите нашите двогодишни успеси, ве молам кликнете на погорниот линк Прези презентација.

Нека ни е честит вториот роденден!

Consanguinity and Autism

Roy, N., Ghaziuddin, M. & Mohiuddin, S. Curr Psychiatry Rep (2020) 22: 3. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11920-019-1124-y

Abstract

Purpose of Review
Consanguinity can increase the risk for autosomal recessive conditions, along with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Rarely outside of the genetics community is this discussed. Understanding its impact on the development of ASD and increasing awareness for physicians is important.
Recent Findings
ASD is a polygenic multifactorial disorder associated with morbidity and burden of care. Studies have confirmed its heritability, suspecting to an autosomal recessive transmission. Consanguinity increases the risk for uncovering recessive disorder and its role as an independent contributor for the development of ASD should be examined.
Summary
With consanguinity being a known risk factor for autosomal recessive conditions, clinicians should routinely screen for it when evaluating for ASD, as this is inconsistently done. If suspected, genetic testing should be also recommended. Understanding current risk as well as future risk and providing families with the education to make the most informed decisions is necessary.
