GAND stands for GATAD2B-associated neurodevelopmental disorder.
This acronym represents a specific neurodevelopmental disorder linked to mutations in the GATAD2B gene. This condition is characterized by several key features, including:
- Intellectual disability (ID)
- Infantile hypotonia (low muscle tone in infancy)
- Apraxia of speech (difficulty with motor planning for speech)
- Epilepsy
Essentially, GAND is a way to refer to the collection of symptoms and challenges that arise due to problems with the GATAD2B gene.
