GAND stands for GATAD2B -associated neurodevelopmental disorder. The GATAD2B gene is located on chromosome 1 (at 1q21.3) and is an important gene for normal cognitive development. Most patients so far identified have had intellectual disability, low muscle tone, apraxia of speech, strabismus, macrocephaly, and distinct physical characteristics, including a high wide forehead/frontal bossing ...
GAND is diagnosed based on the symptoms, a clinical exam and genetic testing.Severe intellectual disability-poor language-strabismus-grimacing face-long fingers syndrome (also known as GATAD2B-associated neurodevelopmental disorder or GAND) affects the way the brain develops.
GAND syndrome is an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in GATAD2B (chromosome 1q21.3). It presents from infancy with global developmental delay, prominent motor delay, and moderate to severe intellectual disability. Most affected individuals have poor speech acquisition—particularly expressive language—and may show signs of speech apraxia. Common early ...
The Gands, or Gand (pronounced /Gănd/), were a sentient species of humanoids that xenobiologists believed to have evolved from an insect genus that inhabited the ammonia-gas planet of Gand. Several physical varieties of the species existed, differing from one another in the structure of the head and the texture and color of the exoskeleton, but the species was usually divided into two main ...
GATAD2B (GATA zinc finger domain containing 2B) variants are associated with the neurodevelopmental syndrome GAND, characterized by intellectual disability (ID), infantile hypotonia, apraxia of ...
Helping Hands for GAND is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit charity which exists to support individuals and families affected by GATAD2B-associated neurodevelopmental disorder (GAND), to increase awareness, and to work toward research and treatment opportunities to enrich the lives of those with this rare genetic condition.
