Abstract excerpt
Most people with intellectual disability (ID) do not receive a molecular diagnosis following genetic testing. To identify new etiologies of ID, we performed a genetic association analysis comparing the burden of rare variants in 41,132 noncoding genes between 5,529 unrelated cases and 46,401 unrelated controls. RNU4-2, which encodes U4 small nuclear RNA, a critical component of the spliceosome, was the most...
