Abstract excerpt
There remains a crucial need to address inequalities in genomic research and include populations from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Here we present eight consanguineous families from Pakistan, five with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and three with neuromuscular disorders (NMDs). Affected individuals were clinically characterized, and genetic variants were identified through exome sequencing (ES),...
