A novel variant in male siblings with intellectual disability and microcephaly in the absence of cobalamin disorder.

Abstract Approximately 10-15% of intellectual disability (ID) cases are caused by genetic aberrations affecting chromosome X, a condition termed X-linked ID (XLID). Examination by whole-exome sequencing of two male siblings…
