Background
Intellectual disability (ID), also termed mental retardation (MR), is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by an intelligence quotient (IQ) of 70 or below and a deficit in at least two behaviors associated with adaptive functioning. The condition is further classified into syndromic intellectual disability (S-ID) and non-syndromic intellectual disability (NS-ID). This study highlights the genes associated with NS-ID.
Objectives
A genetic study was performed on two Pakistani families to know the inheritance patterns, clinical phenotypes, and molecular genetics of affected individuals with NS-ID.
Methodology
Samples were collected from two families: families A and B. All affected individuals in both families were diagnosed by a neurologist. Written informed consent was taken from the affected individuals and guardians before collecting the data and sample. Family A belongs to the Swabi District of Pakistan having four affected individuals, out of whom three were ma
