Characterisation of New Disease Genes

Many Mendelian disorders still do not have ascribed gene mutations which are known to cause the condition. We are employing a broad diversity of techniques to identify new disease genes underlying a broad range of congenital malformation disorders. We are employing linkage mapping, whole genome arrays and candidate gene analysis to attack these problems.
