Clinical Use of Neuronal Growth Factors in Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Neurodevelopmental disorders are disorders that cause severe dysfunction. These disorders begin in early childhood and have many complex etiologies that are not yet enlightened today. There are hypotheses and some evidence that in neurodevelopmental disorders about abnormal growth factor expression during embryogenesis. Recent studies have been reported that neuronal growth factors may also related to clinical conditions in this disorders. Along with increased evidence, changes in neuronal growth factor levels indicate common pathophysiological mechanisms between Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Therefore, the investigation of all these related pathways and growth factors will lead to possible clinical uses of these neuronal growth factors for Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder
