The most frequent diagnoses were development delay (48%) and intellectual disability (30%). Abnormal results (pathogenic variants, likely pathogenic variants, uniparental disomies and loss of heterozygosity&gt; 2.5%) were reported in 50.3%. The 53.28% of the cases with a diagnosis of intellectual disability and 47.92% of development delay showed abnormal results; while the children with short stature syndromic, malformative syndrome, and autistic disorders spectrum disorders showed abnormal results in 52.38%, 52% and 20% respectively. Additionally, we found that 6.25% of parents were non-declared consanguinity. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> Abnormal results found in our study was a higher ratio than other international reports regardless of the clinical diagnosis. Furthermore, we show a most rate of non-declared consanguinity in relation with previous reports.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={ACTA MEDICA PERUANA}, author={Abarca Barriga, Hugo H. and Vásquez Sotomayor, Flor de Milagros and Trubnykova, Milana and Chavesta Velasquez, Felix and Chavez Pastor, Miguel A. and Gallardo Jugo, Bertha E. and Poterico Rojas, Julio and Caballero Bedón, Nathaly and La Serna Infantes, Jorge and Vasquez Loarte, Tania}, year={2020}, month={Jul.} }
