History and Mental status examination and physical examination was taken and the diagnosis was undertaken according to DSM IV-TR.
Incidence of Mental Retardation is estimated about 1-3% in normal Population at any time (schaefer 2010). This disorder is 1.5 times more common in men than women (Sadock, 2007). Mental Retardations occure secondary to genetics, developmental, acquired or combination of these causes (Sadock, 2007). But what is rare and unusual is the fact that three Sisters are affected by mental Retardation in one and the same Family.
