Genomic at the service of the children's health

A complete genetic study to the molecular diagnosis of Intellectual Disability

The health of children is our priority

The DNA.files INTELLECT is a genetic service that supports children and young with some type of Intellectual Disability and without a previous diagnosis.

Why DNA.files INTELLECT?

6 to 7%

of children between 3-17 years old are diagnosed with some kind of Intellectual Disability.

~ 1 out of 2

patients with Intellectual Disability have unknown causes and most of them are genetic.

~ 79 - 237 million

of people around the world are affected with some kind of Intellectual Disability.

A genetic study designed to children without a conclusive diagnosis

Through DNA.files INTELLECT is possible to identify genetic mutations in around 1250 genes associated with pathologies related to Intellectual Disability.

Intellectual Disability

"The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Intellectual Disability as a significantly reduced ability to understand new or complex information and to learn and apply new skills. The Intellectual Disability is characterized, essentially, by alterations during the period of development and of the faculties that determine the global level of intelligence, that is, of the cognitive functions, language, motor abilities and social capacity."
