A new UK nationwide project aimed at improving the care and diagnosis of developmental disorders and understanding their relation to the human genome is announced today. The Deciphering Developmental Disorders (DDD) Project aims to improve the diagnosis and care of children in the UK who fail to develop normally due to changes in their genetic makeup. Its goal is to collect comprehensive genomic data and from this develop clinical tools to unlock the genetic reasons for the developmental problems in these children.
