Genetic etiology analysis of children with developmental delay and intellectual disabilities in Ningxia region
Objective To understand the genetic etiology of children with global developmental delay(GDD)/intellectual disability(ID)in Ningxia region,in order to provide a basis for early diagnosis and intervention of the disease.Methods A total of 239 children with GDD/ID who met the standards and were treated in the Children's Rehabilitation Department of the First People's Hospital of Yinchuan City from January 2018 to February 2023,aged 0-14 years,were selected for testing using WES.Clinical data of positive and partially negative children were collected for summarization and statistical analysis.Results A total of 62 positive children were screened out,with an overall detection rate of 25.97％,including 12 cases of CNV and 50 cases of SNV/indel.Among them,there were 57 cases of GDD and 5 cases of ID,with a male to female ratio of 32:30.Significant differences were observed in the main clinical phenotypes between positive and partially negative patients(P＜0.05),including facial deformities(x2=26.07),epilepsy(x2=6.61),delayed motor development(x2=42.43),abnormal muscle tone(x2=17.90),and autism(x2=15.49).Totally 98.39％of positive children had delayed motor development.There was no significant difference in the degree of intellectual disability between the positive CNV group and the positive SNV/indel group(P＞0.05).Conclusions The etiology of GDD/ID is complex,with a high proportion of genetic factors.WES testing can improve the detection rate for children with facial deformities,epilepsy,delayed motor development,and abnormal muscle tone,while the detection rate decreases for children with autism.
