Intellectual disability, Wolff type is a rare genetic disorder characterized by intellectual disability, delayed development, and distinctive facial features. It is caused by a mutation in the WDR45 gene. Symptoms may include delayed speech and language development, poor coordination, and behavioral problems. Treatment is based on the individual's needs and may include speech and language therapy, physical therapy, and educational interventions.

2. Environmental causes: Exposure to certain environmental toxins, such as lead, mercury, and alcohol, during pregnancy can increase the risk of intellectual disability, Wolff type.

3. Infections: Infections during pregnancy, such as rubella, cytomegalovirus, and toxoplasmosis, can increase the risk of intellectual disability, Wolff type.

4. Birth complications: Complications during birth, such as oxygen deprivation, can increase the risk of intellectual disability, Wolff type.

5. Other causes: Other causes of intellectual disability, Wolff type include chromos
