WUSTL: Brain Yields Clues About Rare Childhood Syndrome

Smaller-than-expected skull sizes and brain abnormalities have been , the Washington University School of Medicine reported via University City Patch.

Washington University has a presence in University City, and St. Louis city.

Quoting from a description of the study published in the online journal Public Library of Science (PLoS) One:

"Earlier case studies had used imaging to identify brain abnormalities, but scientists had assumed those changes occurred late in the disease process when Wolfram’s patients got older. The new findings suggest, however, that some changes in the brain occur early in childhood."
