Inclusion Criteria

* Patient has MCA/ID and is already in the diagnostic clinical genetic circuit at the UMCU.
* Patient lack a diagnosis from regular diagnostic testing (aCGH, WES)
* Both parents are available for blood sampling
* Parents have to give consent for the patient

Exclusion Criteria

* One or both Parents do not give consent
* MCA/ID patient carries a recurrent/described SV with a causal variant (i.e. patient has a diagnosis: only undiagnosed MCA/ID patients will be included in this cohort).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>This study will generate a genomics dataset from patient-parent trios at the<br /><br>DNA, RNA and epigenome level. These data will help to better diagnose this<br /><br>group of patients. Therefore, results from this study can help in the routine<br /><br>diagnostic care of this patient group. These results will then be shared with<br /><br>the clinical geneticists involved in this study through routine care<br /><br>mechanisms. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The results from this study could also generate new genes and/or mechanisms<br /><br>that are important in the etiology of MCA/ID as a syndrome.</p><br>
