“…However, until recently the clinical availability of MLPA (multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification) [2], FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization), and CGH (Comparative Genomic Hybridization) has facilitated the detection of submicroscopic chromosome aberrations. The molecular approach improves the etiological diagnostic of DD/ID, which is only achieved in around 30% of the evaluated cases [3]. Using this diagnostic method, we present molecular and clinical data of the first case of 8q22.2q22.3 microdeletion syndrome in Colombia.…”

“…According to the fifth edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), intellectual disability (ID) is introduced by three general criteria including defective mental functions, difficulties in adaptive performance in terms of conceptual, social and practical aspects and problems during the developmental period (Cabarcas, Espinosa, & Velasco, 2013). Intellectual disability is a disorder characterised by clear limitations to intelligent and adaptive behaviour (Vargo, 2015 DSM-IV, about 1% of the population has mental disabilities, and its prevalence rate is a function of age and varies according to it (Ganji, 2013).…”

Según su seriedad, se clasifica en leve, moderado, grave o profundo.…”
