Abstract excerpt
Intellectual disability (ID), occurs in approximately 1 to 3% of the population and tends to be higher in low-income countries and in inbred communities. Despite the high rates of consanguineous marriages and the likely enrichment for recessive forms of ID, the genetic bases of ID in Jordan are largely unstudied. In this study, whole exome sequencing (WES) and homozygosity mapping were used to identify the...
