This project targets neurodevelopment disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy and epilepsy and focuses on studying the environmental factors (epigenetics) affecting the disease mechanisms in these disorders. The study will be performed on twin samples and will help in the diagnosis of the disease risk at an earlier stage. It will also help to understand the causes of these important neurological diseases.

该项目针对自闭症谱系障碍、脑瘫和癫痫等神经发育障碍，重点研究影响这些障碍疾病机制的环境因素（表观遗传学）。该研究将对双胞胎样本进行，并将有助于在早期阶段诊断疾病风险。这也将有助于了解这些重要神经系统疾病的原因。
