Research Interests
I am a clinical geneticist with a primary research interest in the clinical and molecular delineation of genetic syndromes. Currently, the conditions I am most interested in are autosomal recessive disorders over-represented in isolated populations including Joubert syndrome, Meckel-Gruber syndrome, Bowen-Conradi syndrome and Bardet-Biedl syndrome. I have been involved in the clinical delineation and mapping of these syndromes. I also have a research interest in CNS malformations, particularly cerebellar hypoplasia and Chiari I malformation.
