Abstract excerpt
We have used single-nucleotide polymorphism microarray genotyping and homozygosity-by-descent (HBD) mapping followed by Sanger sequencing or whole-exome sequencing (WES) to identify causative mutations in three consanguineous families with intellectual disability (ID) related to thyroid dyshormonogenesis (TDH). One family was found to have a shared HBD region of 12.1 Mb on 8q24.21-q24.23 containing 36 coding...
