Scales. Decades of cerebral palsy research suddenly become meaningful for STXBP1 and SYNGAP1. The CP field has built a mature framework of classification systems such as the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), along with related tools for manual ability and communication. These systems were not developed for synaptic disorders, which were largely unknown when these scales were first conceptualized. However, as we move toward trial readiness, they offer exactly what we need: structured ways to describe function. The question is whether they translate and can be used. Here is what we found.
