A gene previously linked to intellectual disability has been found to regulate learning and memory in mice. The gene, called KDM5B has previously been linked to some intellectual disability disorders ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and collaborators at the University of Bristol, KU Leuven, and the NIHR BioResource, have identified a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused ...

Almost 1,500 genes have been implicated in intellectual disabilities; yet for most people with such disabilities, genetic causes remain unknown. Perhaps this is in part because geneticists have been ...

Scientists have found the genetic root of a disorder that causes intellectual disability. They say the disorder may affect as many as one in 20,000 young people. Those with the disorder share a number ...

Single-gene disorders that are relatively common in Taiwan include thalassemia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, hereditary hearing loss, hemophilia, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), ...

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 ...

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 ...
