Mental retardation or intellectual disability affects about 3% of
the general population. One half of it is attributed to genetic
factors and is therefore inheritable. Genetic basis of mental
retardation is poorly understood. However information revealed from
the human genome project has enabled to analyze the genetic
determinants that have causative role in the onset of the disease.
This book provides a compendium of basic information on the genetic
factors that lead to this disability, methodology to screen the
causative genetic defects and identification of new causative
determinates. This information is critically important in the
diagnosis and prognosis of mental retardation at an early stage,
resulting in better management of the disease, ultimately leading
to improvement in life of the affected individuals. The book offers
a valuable source of information for the graduate and post graduate
students in genetics, biology and medicine.
