NIH-funded research (7)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Long-read genome sequencing to find disease-causing genetic variants in rare pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders
Rare diseases in children may be caused by genetic variants that current sequencing misses, and this project tests a new long-read sequencing approach to uncover them.
-
Finding what controls production of tau protein (MAPT)
This project looks for proteins that turn the tau gene on and off so future pill-based treatments might lower tau for people with Alzheimer’s and other tau-related brain diseases.
-
Advanced DNA Reading for Rare Diseases in Children
This project uses a new DNA sequencing method to find the genetic causes of rare diseases, especially neurodevelopmental disorders in children.
-
Finding ways to reduce tau protein linked to Alzheimer's disease
This study is looking at ways to reduce tau protein levels linked to Alzheimer's disease, with the goal of finding new, easy-to-take treatments that could help people with Alzheimer's and similar conditions.
-
Mapping how human transcription factors interact with DNA
This study is all about learning more about important proteins in our bodies that help control how our genes work, and it aims to create detailed maps showing where these proteins attach to DNA in different cell types, which could help us understand how they affect our health and diseases.
-
Understanding how specific gene variants affect brain development in children
This study is looking at the ZEB2 gene, which is important for children with Mowat-Wilson syndrome, to better understand how certain rare changes in this gene affect brain development and function.
-
Identifying genetic causes of rare diseases in children using advanced DNA sequencing
This study is looking to find hidden genetic clues that might explain rare brain development disorders in kids by analyzing DNA from 500 affected children and their parents, so families can better understand their child's condition.
