The hallmark behavioral profile of ___ is hyperphagia, food-seeking behavior, non-food-related obsessive-compulsive rituals, self-mutilations, temper tantrums, and intellectual disability. Such children are usually obese because of hyperphagia and have other comorbid psychiatric issues like depression stemming from low self-esteem and bullying from peers. The genetic mutation associated with this syndrome lacks expression on paternal chromosome 15; it can be due to 3 causes: paternal deletion, maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) imprinting defect.
Prader-Willi syndrome
___ according to cognitive testing done in children with intellectual disabilities having concurrent disruptive behavior, has shown to improve the cognitive ability along with good control over behavioral issues. The improvement is small but significant according to the clinical findings.
Risperidone
___ 94-142 is also known as the Education of All Handicapped Children Act (or EHC). This act required all public schools accepting federal funds to provide equal access to education for children with physical and mental disabilities. Public schools were required to evaluate handicapped students and create an educational plan with parent input that would emulate as closely as possible the educational experience of non-disabled students. EHC was revised and renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in the 1990s.

Management includes hydration, stopping the offending drug, and /or ___ and dantrolene. Special attention should be paid to renal function tests as these patients may develop rhabdomyolysis. Bromocriptine acts by increasing dopamine and overcoming the neuroleptic-induced dopaminergic blockade.

tuberous sclerosis
Hand wringing (the clasping together and squeezing of one’s hands) and choreatic movements are characteristic of ___ syndrome (RS), a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a mutation in MECP2 in the region of the gene methyl CpG-binding protein.

Children with RS typically have regression of milestones, hand-wringing movement, and abnormal gait.
Rett
ASD has been associated with acceleration of ___ growth due to failure of apoptosis in the cortex.
