The first X-exome sequencing study of Finnish families with intellectual disability revealed the first two Finnish families with Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, one family with a novel mutation in GRIA3, and two families with novel mutations in DLG3. In addition, a novel missense mutation in the candidate XLID gene ZMYM3 cosegregated with a novel syndrome. Here, ZMYM3 is linked to cask-related x-linked intellectual disability.
