Intellectual disability (ID) is a heterogonous disorder with complex etiology. The frequency of autosomal recessive inheritance defects was elevated in a consanguineous family.
In this study, high-throughput DNA sequencing was performed in an Iranian consanguineous family with two affected individuals to find potential causative variants. Whole-exome sequencing was carried out on the proband and Sanger sequencing was implemented for validation of the likely causative variant in the family members.
A novel homozygous missense mutation (p.Arg122Trp) was detected in the gene.
has been recently introduced as a candidate ID and Parkinsonism causing gene. Our findings are in agreement with the clinical spectrum of mutations; however, our affected individuals suffer from ID manifestations.
智力障碍(ID)是一种具有复杂病因的异质性疾病。常染色体隐性遗传缺陷的频率在一个近亲结婚的家庭中升高。
在这项研究中,对一个有两个受影响个体的伊朗近亲结婚家庭进行了高通量 DNA 测序,以寻找潜在的致病变异。对先证者进行全外显子组测序,对家系成员中的可能致病变异进行 Sanger 测序验证。
在 基因中发现了一个新的纯合错义突变(p.Arg122Trp)。
最近被引入为候选 ID 和引起帕金森病的基因。我们的发现与 突变的临床谱一致;然而,我们的受影响个体表现出 ID 症状。
