Research Introduction:

This is an exciting time to be working on human genetic disease.
My laboratory looks for the genetic causes of both Mendelian disorders and common/complex traits and cancer.
To accomplish our goals we perform:

• Complete re-sequencing of coding sequence (exomes) and analysis.
• Linkage and genome-wide association studies.
• Targeted capture and NexGen sequencing.
• Functional genomics: This is used to follow up on novel mutations/variants and genes.

We focus on psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis and uveal melanoma.
