| Research Abstract |
We divided the inbred mice into high and low performance groups by behavioral analysis, and we identified some gene sets that showed differential expression between the groups. Using monozygotic twins discordant for IQ scores, we also identified some gene sets that expressed differentially between siblings and one gene that showed differential DNA methylation status. In patients with mental retardation, we detected several known duplication or deletion syndromes and unknown copy number changes, CNVs. These genes and CNVs could be associated with cognitive abilities.
