For every question, there is an answer: application of genomic sequencing and functional genomics for disease gene discovery in children with orphan phenotypes [ 1/1/2021 - 6/30/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description My PhD study will look closely at the genes in a family to see what is different and whether this difference is the cause of rare health problems. I will focus on children with highly unique conditions in which intellectual disability/developmental delay is a key feature. My study is important because if I can find the exact cause of rare genetic conditions, then I hope to improve the welfare of patients and families affected by these types of conditions.
