BACKGROUND: Of our 1400 exome-studied patients, 67% originate from consanguineous families. ∼80% suffer from variable degree of intellectual disability (ID). The search for disease causing genes using homozygosity mapping was progressing slowly until 2010, then markedly accelerated by the introduction of exome analysis. OBJECTIVES: To identify the disease causing mutation(s) in three patients from two unrelated...
