A study of a child with intellectual disability revealed an enlarged p-arm in chromosome 13 and amplified rDNA. qRT-PCR showed an approximately 6-fold increased level of rRNA in the patient's blood samples. fMRI study revealed changes in uncinate fasciculus. His father is a carrier of the same chromosome, healthy and has a normal level of rRNA.
