Abstract

BackgroundThe discovery of coding variants in genes that confer risk of intellectual disability (ID) is an important step toward understanding the pathophysiology of this common developmental disability.MethodsHomozygosity mapping, whole-exome sequencing, and cosegregation analyses were used to iden...
