How my research helps children
My work impacts diagnosis, prognosis and treatment and prevention of many childhood diseases and/or conditions, including learning difficult, developmental delay, mental retardation, dysmorphism, autism, cancers (e.g. acute lymphblastic leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumor).
Research
Current Research Activities
Development and application of new molecular cytogenetic methods for diagnosis and research of genomic rearrangements in relation with clinical outcomes.
