Your generosity creates a significant impact on our research and on the lives of children everywhere

As part of our research development and planning we invite members of the community to work with us. Click here to find out how.

The question of whether or not parents should monitor their children’s social media often triggers a lot of follow up questions.

Your gift is the reason we can give hope to families, be ambitious in our research, and create a brighter future for our community.

While early exposure to alcohol may influence the development of facial structures, it does not appear to be associated with ASD phenotypic variability

Research

Structural and numerical alterations of chromosome 21 are extremely common in hematological malignancies. While the functional impact of chimeric transcripts from fused chromosome 21 genes such as TEL-AML1, AML1-ETO, or FUS-ERG have been extensively studied, the role of gain of chromosome 21 remains largely unknown.

Research

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a complex injury with heterogeneous physical, cognitive, emotional and functional outcomes. Many who sustain mTBI recover within 2 weeks of injury; however, approximately 10%-20% of individuals experience mTBI symptoms beyond this 'typical' recovery timeframe, known as persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS). Despite increasing interest in PPCS, uncertainty remains regarding its prevalence in community-based populations and the extent to which poor recovery may be identified using early predictive markers.

Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Human Rhinovirus are the most frequent cause of respiratory tract infections in infants and children and are major triggers of acute viral bronchiolitis, wheezing and asthma exacerbations.
