Developmental Disabilities: Public Health Impact and Recent Genomic Insights - July 15, 2015

Genetic testing for developmental disabilities, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorder
Rockville (MD):Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (US) 2015 Jun

CDC information: Developmental disabilities are a group of conditions due to an impairment in physical, learning, language, or behavior areas. About one in six children in the U.S. have one or more developmental disabilities or other developmental delays

CDC information: Most developmental disabilities are thought to be caused by a complex mix of genetic and environmental factors
