An integrated “omic” approach to neurodevelopmental disorders using disease-discordant monozygotic twins [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Ms Namitha Mohandas (Principal investigator)

Brief description This project targets neurodevelopment disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy and epilepsy and focuses on studying the environmental factors (epigenetics) affecting the disease mechanisms in these disorders. The study will be performed on twin samples and will help in the diagnosis of the disease risk at an earlier stage. It will also help to understand the causes of these important neurological diseases.
