Whole exome sequencing revealed variants in four genes underlying X-linked intellectual disability in four Iranian families: novel deleterious variants and clinical features with the review of literature.

Abstract excerpt

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: Intellectual disability (ID) is a heterogeneous condition affecting brain development, function, and/or structure. The X-linked mode of inheritance of ID (X-linked intellectual disability; XLID) has a prevalence of 1 out of 600 to 1000 males. In the last decades, exome sequencing technology has revolutionized the process of disease-causing gene discovery in XLIDs. Nevertheless, so many of them...
