It can be caused by in utero binding, prematurity, muscle torticollis, and the position of the baby during sleep or rest. Mild cases can be treated with repositioning and tummy time, while more severe cases may require a […]
Positional cloning is a genetic screening technique that identifies areas of interest in the genome and determines their function. Researchers use genetic markers and databases to narrow down areas of interest and experiment with mutations to learn more. This technique can help map the genome, develop tests for inherited conditions, and potentially lead to treatments […]
