MAP1B mutations cause intellectual disability and extensive white matter deficit 〈i〉MAP1B〈/i〉 mutations cause intellectual disability and extensive white matter deficit, Published online: 27 August 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-05595-6 Intellectual disability (ID) is characterized by an intelligence quotient of below 70 and impaired adaptive skills.
