Not a lot of research has been undertaken of this particular disease so thus far there is no known gene that affects this condition. However it has been hypothesised that the symptoms described are found at a particular gene, though intellectual disability is believed to be due to a different genetic cause.
Limited studies on this disorder have not yielded any known genes that impact it. However, theorists propose that the symptoms exhibited might be linked to a specific gene, whereas intellectual disability is attributed to a distinct genetic mechanism.
