RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the genetic basis of cerebral palsy (CP).@*METHODS@#A pair of twins with cerebral palsy and different phenotypes were subjected to whole genome sequencing, and other 8 children with CP were subjected to whole exome sequencing. Genetic variations were screened by a self-designed filtration process in order to explore the CP-related biological pathways and genes.@*RESULTS@#Three biological pathways related to CP were identified, which included axon guiding, transmission across chemical synapses and protein-protein interactions at synapses, and 25 susceptibility genes for CP were identified.@*CONCLUSION@#The molecular mechanism of CP has been explored, which may provide clues for development of new treatment for CP.
