A. Personal Statement
I am a pediatrician and geneticist with clinical expertise in a wide range of genetically based syndromes. In several publications, my work has better characterized or expanded the phenotypes for genetic syndromes including 17q12/HNF1B deletions (Prenat Diag, 2023), congenital heart disease in the RASopathies (Am J Med Genet A, 2021), and episignature in a neurodevelopmental disorder (Genet Med, 2023). This work contributes to the recognition and appropriate diagnosis leading to improved management and genetic counseling. Currently, I am involved in the Genomics Research to Elucidate the Genetics of Rare disease (GREGoR) Consortium which is a national consortium focused on applying new technologies to discover genetic causes in undiagnosed patients. Finally, my recent work has focused on limiting bias and unfair discrimination in genetic testing (Genet Med, 2023).
