About
We focus on the identification of novel genes involved in neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the clinical characterization of those novel genetic syndromes.
Aims
-
We aim to identificate novel genes involved in neurodevelopmental disorders, especially intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder.
-
We aim to characterize both clinical and molecular newly identified genes related to neurodevelopmental disorders.
-
We aim to develop and introduce novel facial imaging techniques (2D and 3D) for phenotyping patients using artificial intelligence (AI).
-
We aim to develop world-wide assessable clinical databases and gene-websites as a tool to collect and share clinical information of patients with neurodevelopmental disorders.
-
We aim to characterize neuronal networks and organoids for neurodevelopmental disorders, especially Koolen-de Vries syndrome, as a starting point for treatment.
