Mutations in B3GALNT2 cause congenital muscular dystrophy and hypoglycosylation of α-dystroglycan. Delineation of the clinical, molecular and cellular aspects of novel JAM3 mutations underlying the autosomal recessive hemorrhagic destruction of the brain, subependymal calcification, and congenital cataracts. » more PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH The generous participation of many families makes our research possible. Their involvement helps us better understand disorders of the human brain and leads us to gene discovery, a key step toward improving clinical care. Please contact us about your eligibility. » more SPECIALTY CLINICS The Brain Development and Genetics Clinic offers consultation for children with developmental brain disorders and their families. Our physicians will review brain MRIs and medical history to help provide the best diagnosis and management options available.
