Meet Toby - he has developmental coordination disorder (DCD), a neurodevelopmental condition that causes delays and impairments in fine and gross motor skills.

The first ever National Healthy Skin Guideline has become the gold standard for the treatment, prevention and public health control of skin infections in Indigenous populations in Australia and provides a positive framework for healthy skin.

A simple set of eye masks and ear plugs – an inexpensive solution explored in a successful pilot study by The Kids Research Institute Australia, together with the Child and Adolescent Health Service – could hold the key to better outcomes for our tiniest bubs. Now, a nationwide clinical trial is testing the idea

Acute rheumatic fever is an autoimmune disorder resulting from Group A Streptococcus pharyngitis or impetigo in children and adolescents, which may evolve to rheumatic heart disease (RHD) with persistent cardiac valve damage.

When investigating whether a variant identified by diagnostic genetic testing is causal for disease, applied genetics professionals evaluate all available evidence to assign a clinical classification. Functional assays of higher and higher throughput are increasingly being generated and, when appropriate, can provide strong functional evidence for or against pathogenicity in variant classification. Despite functional assay data representing unprecedented value for genomic diagnostics, challenges remain around the application of functional evidence in variant curation.
