Objective: To explore the association between telomere length (TL) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children at 6-12 years. Method: Data from 1,759 children belonging to the HELIX project cohorts and the Asturias, Gipuzkoa and Valencia cohorts of INMA project were included. TL was determined by blood sample using a…

In January 2024, building on the Genomics Beyond Health report, the Department for Education (DfE), with co-funding from the Government Office for Science (GO-Science), commissioned Ipsos UK through the Futures Procurement Framework to understand the potential future risks and opportunities of the use of genomics in education. The Government…

Pacheco, Sierra – Voices in Education, 2020
The objective of this study was to assess the correlation of the Per3 gene VNTR polymorphism to insomnia patients in Bermuda. Buccal swabs were taken, and DNA was extracted, after which the genotypes of volunteers were characterised by using polymerase chain reaction. There were 25 total volunteers (21 females, 4 males, aged 20-79) that…

Lowe, Roy – British Journal of Educational Studies, 2022
It is well established that intelligence testing in its modern form developed and was deployed slightly differently in several countries, most notably France, England and the United States. Less widely recognized is the fact that its originators were all part of a close network of scholars who liaised internationally, exchanged ideas and were…

Sana Zakaria; Tim Marler; Mark Cabling; Suzanne Genc; Artur Honich; Mann Virdee; Sam Stockwell – RAND Europe, 2023
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and biotechnology, whilst in its infancy, presents significant opportunities and risks, and proactive policy is needed to manage these emerging technologies. Whilst AI continues to have significant and broad impact, its relevance and complexity magnify when integrated with other emerging…

Marta Godoy-Giménez; Ángel García-Pérez; Fernando Cañadas; Angeles F. Estévez; Pablo Sayans-Jiménez – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
The broad autism phenotype is the phenotypic expression of the primary characteristics of autism. However, currently available tests do not agree with the two-domain operationalization of broad autism phenotype or autism, and their internal structure has shown instability across applications. This study presents the Broad Autism…

This study examined the similarities/differences between the social phenotypes of Williams syndrome (WS) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As cultural norms may affect symptom evaluation, this study administered the Social Responsiveness Scale-2 to Japanese individuals with WS (n = 78, 4.4-44.0 years) and ASD (n = 75, 4.7-55.4 years). The scores…

Golombok, Susan – Child Development Perspectives, 2021
Ever since the birth of the first baby born through in vitro fertilization in 1978, advances in reproductive technologies have raised new concerns about the outcomes for children. In this article, I summarize research on children born through assisted reproduction involving a third party, that is, children born through egg donation, sperm…

Barcellos, Silvia H.; Carvalho, Leandro; Turley, Patrick – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
This paper investigates whether education weakens the relationship between early-life disadvantages and later-life SES. We use three proxies for advantage that we show are independently associated with SES in middle-age. Besides early, favorable family and neighborhood conditions, we argue that the genes a child inherits also represent a source of…

Timson, David J. – School Science Review, 2017
Mutations can cause genetic diseases and the vast majority of these have no effective treatment. They raise some difficult questions on the boundaries of science and social science. Selective breeding to "improve" the human race (eugenics) is often regarded as a Victorian relic or Nazi fantasy. Yet, three fetuses with Down syndrome are…

Grace, Marcus; Christodoulou, Andri; Hughes, Carys; Godfrey, Keith; Rietdijk, Willeke; Griffiths, Janice – School Science Review, 2020
The rapidly growing field of epigenetics is now beginning to reveal how our genes are affected by environmental factors such as nutrition, exercise and stress. As it has such profound effects on our everyday lives, this article argues for the inclusion of epigenetics in the compulsory school science curriculum, and explores trainee science…

Wood, Alison F.; Chandler, Colin; Connolly, Siobhan; Finn, Gabrielle; Redmond, Catherine; Jolly, Jim; Powell, Andrew D.; Davies, Carmel; Grant, Allison – Advances in Physiology Education, 2020
Physiology is a key element of "bioscience" education within pre-registration nursing programs, but there is a lack of clarity on what is included. Physiology and bioscience content and delivery are highly varied across both higher education institutions and the related programs in the United Kingdom (UK). Despite evidence highlighting…

M.; Dionne, Ginette; Brendgen, Mara; Vitaro, Frank; Tremblay, Richard E.; Boivin, Michel; Kovas, Yulia – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Background: The number line task assesses the ability to estimate numerical magnitudes. People vary greatly in this ability, and this variability has been previously associated with mathematical skills. However, the sources of individual differences in number line estimation and its association with mathematics are not fully understood. Aims: This…

Forbes, Samuel H.; Plunkett, Kim – Child Development, 2020
When and how do infants learn color words? It is generally supposed that color words are learned late and with a great deal of difficulty. By examining infant language surveys in British English and 11 other languages, this study shows that color word learning occurs earlier than has been previously suggested and that the order of acquisition of…

Dale, Philip S.; Rice, Mabel L.; Rimfeld, Kaili; Hayiou-Thomas, Marianna E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: There is a need for well-defined language phenotypes suitable for adolescents in twin studies and other large-scale research projects. Rice, Hoffman, and Wexler (2009) have developed a grammatical judgment measure as a clinical marker of language impairment, which has an extended developmental range to adolescence. Method: We conducted…
