A large number of congenital disorders are very rare and localized to rural areas in India, a country that practices both endogamy and consanguinity. Recent advances in genomics can aid in the identification of causative genomic elements when exploring therapeutic interventions and developing neonatal screening to assign novel functions.

Abstract
A large number of congenital disorders are very rare and localized to rural areas in India, a country that practices both endogamy and consanguinity. Recent advances in genomics can aid in the identification of causative genomic elements when exploring therapeutic interventions and developing neonatal screening to assign novel functions. Here, we report a novel loss-of-function mutation (p.Trp370∗) in the HACE1 gene that is associated with a rare congenital neurodevelopmental disorder in a boy from a remote village in southern India.
