Genetic disorders that can cause a person's intelligence to become underdeveloped?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots!: Generally, if you have fewer or more genes or chromosomes than you're supposed to have, intelligence may well be affected. Other genetic/metabolic diseases can damage the brain because of the toxic build up of by products from dysfunctional metabolism which the body may have difficulty disposing of.
