Clinical and Genomic Studies in MECP2 Duplication Syndrome – A Path to Personalized Medicine

In this Science Matters seminar, Dr. Davut Pehlivan from Baylor College of Medicine discusses clinical and genomic studies of MECP2 Duplication Syndrome, with a focus on the how these studies impact the treatment of this rare neurodevelopmental condition.

PNRI’s Science Matters free, virtual seminars feature discussions with scientists around the globe about exciting research in genetics, genomics, and evolutionary biology with important societal impact.

Topics include research on the genetics of ethnically diverse populations, diseases afflicting vulnerable or underserved groups, and efforts to expand the diversity (broadly defined) of research subjects or the scientific workforce.

The seminars are free to attend and open to the scientific community and anyone interested in learning more about genetics. These are virtual events (via Zoom) and require advance registration. Visit: https://pnri.org/events/science-matters/ to learn more and register for upcoming seminars.
