THE RAISE OF NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS (NDS): FROM GENETICS TO EPIGENETICS

Ernesto Burgio ; ECERI European Cancer and Environment Research Institute, Bruxelles, Belgium

Abstract

NDs are a collection of disorders that appear in the early stages of development and are variously associated with cognitive an d
behavioral dysfunctions. The strong heritability of these conditions (in particular autism and schizophrenia) argues in favor o f a
genetic origin. On the other hand, the massive increase in NDs implies a preponderant role of environmental factors and epigene tic
mechanism (Panisi et al. 2021).
