SHD-DI: Molecular Diagnosis of Syndromic or Isolated Severe Intellectual Disability Using Whole Exome Sequencing : a Pilot Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of patients with a molecular diagnostic and diagnostic yield [up to 12 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Cost/diagnostic ratio in comparison with conventional techniques [up to 12 months]
- Reporting time in comparison with conventional techniques [up to 12 months]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
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
