What are the Risk Factors for Neurodevelopmental Disorders?
Neurodevelopmental disorders are believed to result from a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and possibly epigenetic factors. Genetic predispositions can increase susceptibility, while environmental exposures such as maternal infections during pregnancy, exposure to toxins, or nutritional deficiencies can also contribute. Epidemiological studies often focus on identifying these risk factors to better understand the etiology and develop prevention strategies.
