First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested whether whole genome sequencing (WGS) can find more genetic causes of intellectual disability than current standard tests. Researchers compared WGS to usual methods in 3825 children and adults with unexplained intellectual disability. The goal was to see if WGS gives a diagnosis to more patients, potentially reducing the number of people without answers.
