Scientists have uncovered a rare genetic cause of intellectual disability in a historically overlooked part of the human genome: so-called junk DNA. This knowledge could someday help to diagnose some ...
A newly identified neurodevelopmental disorder may explain tens of thousands of cases of intellectual disability whose cause was previously unknown, according to a new study. The research, published ...
Researchers are uncovering how disrupted glutamatergic synapses drive diverse forms of intellectual disability, revealing new ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have published a pivotal study in Nature Genetics (DOI: 10.1038/s41588-024-01917-1) that sheds light on a novel genetic variant associated ...
Scientists have found the genetic root of a disorder that causes intellectual disability, which they estimate affects as many as one in 20,000 young people. And they hope their discovery leads to a ...
A new national study reveals that most Medicaid-enrolled children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or intellectual disability (ID) are not receiving recommended genetic testing despite clinical ...
New research suggests that individuals with cerebral palsy should be encouraged to undergo genetic testing much like those with other types of developmental disabilities. Currently, whole genome or ...
Intellectual disability is a disorder marked by below-average intellectual function and a lack of skills necessary for independent daily living. The condition begins in the developmental period. The ...
