American Journal of Medical Genetics Articles
This issue of the American Journal of Medical Genetics came from the Behavior Strand at the 6th International CHARGE conference. Those papers on behavior are published here along with a few others, and some additional articles on CHARGE syndrome.

CHARGE Non-Vocal Pain Assessment
The CNVPA was created from parental input based on behaviors observed of children with CHARGE when they are experiencing pain and from the following references (used with permission from the authors of the NCCPC-R and the PPP):

Behavior in CHARGE syndrome
Hartshorne, Stratton, Brown, Brown, & Schmittel, 2017
Specific unusual behaviors are often associated with specific genetic syndromes. This is sometimes described as a behavioral phenotype. In contrast to providing a psychiatric diagnosis, a behavioral phenotype describes what is unique to the behavior associated with specific syndromes. While behaviors in CHARGE are as complex and variable as other aspects of the syndrome, there are some commonalities that raise the possibility of common sources for these behaviors. This article addresses how pain, sensory issues, and anxiety may impact the behavior of individuals with CS, and how the development of self-regulation skills might help to mitigate some of these behaviors.
