Children with rare genetic disorders more likely to be diagnosed with developmental, behavioral and mental health problems, study finds

With the advent of rapid whole genome sequencing, children presenting with an intellectual disability or developmental delay are recommended to have their DNA sequenced to identify the underlying genetic cause. Researchers have now published the results of an analysis of data from almost 2,800 young people with rare genomic variants — changes to their DNA — that are associated with intellectual disability.
