Molecular Diagnosis of Syndromic or Isolated Severe Intellectual Disability Using Whole Exome Sequencing : a Pilot Study (SHD-DI)

Evaluation of diagnostic whole exome sequencing in patients with syndromic or isolated severe intellectual disability without a molecular diagnostic, with suspected autosomal recessive inheritance, allowing accurate genetic counseling in this high risk of recurrence group of diseases

Study Population

Retrospectively included patients presenting severe intellectual disability without a molecular diagnosis, born from consanguineous parents and / or with intra-familial recurrence, whose parents are requesting for molecular diagnosis, in a context of deadlock with conventional techniques

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical diagnosis of syndromic or isolated severe intellectual disability (IQ <50) without a molecular diagnosis
  • Recurrence in siblings (multiplex families) suggesting autosomal recessive inheritance (with or without parental consanguinity) or sporadic cases from a consanguineous union
  • Conventional genetic tests performed (including array-CGH) and MRI/CT-scan available
  • DNA samples from parents and from both unaffected or affected siblings available, for parental segregation and confirmation of candidate variations identified.
  • Availability of a signed informed consent
  • To be affiliated or beneficiary of French social security/healthcare system

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Parents in the exclusion period of another study or as provided by the national register of volunteers
  • High-probability diagnostic hypothesis for which a molecular test is available at lower cost than exome sequencing
