  • Whole-exome sequencing has revolutionized the identification of genes with dominant disease-associated variants for rare clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders, but the identification of genes with recessive disease-associated variants has been less successful. A new study now provides a framework integrating Mendelian variant filtering with statistical assessments of patients' genotypes and phenotypes, thereby catalyzing the discovery of novel mutations associated with recessive disease.

  • The phenotypic heterogeneity of intellectual disability (ID) disorders has hampered studies of the underlying genetics, but major progress has been achieved by recent applications of next-generation sequencing. This Review discusses our latest understanding of ID genetics, including the identification ofde novoand inherited mutations of various types, strategies for assigning disease causality to the mutations, emerging pathological mechanisms and future research directions.
