Inside Out
Behavioral Phenotyping in Genetic Syndromes
Paul Mulder, 07 april 2020
1. Studying genetic syndromes shows the complexity of the reciprocal interaction between genes, somatic characteristics, behavior and
environment and its effect on the diversity in phenotypes.
(this thesis)
2. Adding direct in-person assessments to survey approaches improves our understanding of the meaning of behavior.
(this thesis)
3. To assess the presence of autism in genetic syndromes, behavior should be interpreted in context of individual development and environment.
(this thesis)
4. Understanding sensory processing is key to optimization of environmental conditions and increasing learning opportunities.
(this thesis)
5. Stratifying syndrome-groups to genetic information in behavioral research offers clinical relevant differentiation in order to tailor care
and support needs.
(this thesis)
6. Assessment should be performed in a for the participant familiar environment to reduce stress and enable a more genuine measurement
of (cognitive) abilities.
7. We learn more by studying fewer people.
(Matthew P. Normand)
8. The current policy in the Netherlands regarding care for individuals with genetic syndromes limits the provision of optimal care.
9. Ik heb geleerd: “Wel tevöl noadeankt krig weinig heuj op de greep”.
