1. Genetic Screening in Patients Suspected of Inherited Bleeding Disorders
Sammanfattning : Inherited bleeding disorders constitute a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases, affecting virtually all major components of the hemostatic system. The diagnostics are potentially complex, and a high proportion of patients remain without a conclusive diagnosis following work-up. LÄS MER
2. Clinical and genetic studies of three inherited skeletal disorders
Sammanfattning : Mutations in genes of importance for cartilage development may lead to skeletal malformations, chondroskeletal dysfunction and increased susceptibility to degenerative joint disease. Characterization of these mutations and identification of molecular pathways for the corresponding gene products have contributed to our understanding of mechanisms regulating skeletal patterning, endochondral ossification and joint formation.

3. Genetic studies in mood disorders
Sammanfattning : Mood disorders, including bipolar disorder (BPD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), are highly complex psychiatric disorders. Decades of genetic studies have generated a large number of putative genetic susceptibility variants. However, with exception of CACNA1C, SYNE1 and ANK3 in BPD no robust association has as yet been identified. LÄS MER
4. Genetic studies of neurodevelopmental disorders
Sammanfattning : Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders that adversely impacts a child’s behavioural and learning processes. Developmental delay (DD) and mental retardation are included among the NDDs and are frequently associated with a wide range of accompanying disabilities such as multiple congenital anomalies and dysmorphic features.

5. Unraveling genetic mechanisms in autism spectrum disorders
Sammanfattning : Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impairments in socialization and communication accompanied by repetitive and stereotypic behaviors. ASDs are highly heritable and heterogeneous with a complex genetic etiology. LÄS MER
