New study of Cerebral Palsy

Researchers in Australia are studying 10,000 people to learn possible genetic links to cerebral palsy.

"Obstetric care and caesarean deliveries have increased six-fold over the last 50 years, but the incidence of cerebral palsy cases has remained the same. Most of the cases are associated with problems during pregnancy and possible genetic susceptibility. Currently there is no cure or way to prevent cerebral palsy," he says.
