Other genetic related intellectual disability

This code represents intellectual disability (ID) that is definitively linked to a genetic cause, but the specific genetic syndrome or disorder is not otherwise classified or specified. It indicates a confirmed genetic etiology for the ID, distinguishing it from ID of unknown or non-genetic origin.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of intellectual disability with a confirmed genetic basis, but the specific genetic condition does not have a more precise ICD-10-CM code. This applies to cases where genetic testing has identified a pathogenic variant, but the resulting syndrome is rare, newly identified, or falls outside of existing specific genetic ID codes.

• Ensure the medical record explicitly states a genetic cause for the intellectual disability.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific genetic syndrome (e.g., Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome) is documented; those conditions have their own specific codes.
• Consider sequencing this code after any identified genetic condition code if the genetic condition itself is not primarily classified as intellectual disability but causes it.
