Abstract excerpt
Many genes with different inheritance modes contribute to the pathogenicity of intellectual disability (ID) making it the most known genetically heterogeneous disorder. Advanced next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have helped researchers identify genes underlying ID at an exponential pace. As a consanguineous country, Iran is a hotspot for discovering novel autosomal recessive intellectual disability...
