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 ...

Novel computational model identifies the genes linked to autism that helps in predicting the level of intellectual disability in people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Recognizing specific ...

Children of a parent with alcohol or drug use disorder have a greater risk of intellectual disability, even if the problem only lies with the father, researchers from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden ...

Researchers said the mutations occurred in a small "non-coding" gene, meaning it doesn't provide instructions for making proteins. Until now, all but nine of the nearly 1,500 genes known to be linked ...
