close Video AI tool shows promising ability to detect genetic mutations, cancer earlier than humans Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel discusses the rise of artificial intelligence in medicine, including a new tool that accurately detects early markers of brain cancer. Scientists have identified the genetic basis of a disorder causing intellectual disability, affecting approximately one in 20,000 young people.
The disorder is characterized by symptoms including short stature, small heads, seizures and low muscle mass. The discovery is expected to facilitate the development of a new diagnostic method, providing answers to affected families. Scientists have found the genetic root of a disorder that causes intellectual disability, which they estimate affects as many as one in 20,000 young people.
And they hope their discovery leads to a new diagnosis that can provide answers to families. Those with the condition have a constellation of issues, which also include short stature, small heads, seizures and low muscle mass, said the researchers, who published their findings in the journal Nature Medicine on Friday. "We were struck by how common this disorder is" when compared with other rare diseases linked to a single gene, said Ernest Turro of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, senior author of the study.
