2024-05-21T05:23:27+00:00

Intellectual disability (ID) brings challenges to the affected individuals, their families, and the community at large. It is a multifactorial condition with many contributing factors, namely genetics. This review aims to briefly provide several related genetic conditions for ID in the Indonesian population. Literature studies search relevant articles using PubMed and Google Scholar using the terms ‘intellectual disability’, ‘genetics', ‘Indonesian population’. In Indonesia, the prevalence of children with ID is 1–3%, with 62,011 school-aged children affected with Intellectual Disability. Genetics plays a role in around 25–50% of cases. ID in the Indonesian population is associated with several genetic disorders, namely Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), fragile X syndrome (FXS), Down syndrome (DS), Apert syndrome, and subtelomeric chromosomal rearrangements. There is limited research on genetics related to intellectual disability in Indonesia, implying further research is needed.

Bracing is one of the scoliosis treatment methods recommended for patients with a curve of 25° to 40° still growing child or with curves less than 25°. Bracing aims to prevent the progression of curvature. This study aimed to evaluate the decrease in the Cobb angle after a 3-month bracing in scoliosis patients. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 67 scoliosis patients for age, gender, and the Cobb angle before and after wearing a brace for 3 months. The data was analyzed using a paired t-test with a confidence level of 95%. The research results showed that scoliosis is predominant in females (76.12%) and at 10-15 years old (60.78%). The mean pre-brace Cobb angle of 24.94° (±7.24) was reduced significantly (P < 0.001) to 16.37° (±7.34). The use of a brace in scoliosis patients, especially teenagers, can correct the curvature of the spine.
