It is extremely heterogeneous and has about reported 25,000 genes of which half of the genes expression have been found in the brain. Intellectual disability causes severe disability and has a worldwide prevalence ofaround 2% while autosomal recessive form of ID causes almost 25% of all non syndromic (NS) ID cases. A consanguineous family (who will be referred as) MR7 with phenotype of ID was sampled in Swat region of Pakistan.All affected individuals in the family were observed having a low IQ and cognitive mutilation with no sign of biochemical, skeletal or neurological abnormalities.
