Next generation sequencing for the discovery of inborn errors of cobalamin metabolism
FY 2015-16
Summary
The theme of our work is the use of carefully collected clinical samples for the genetic and biochemical characterization of human inherited disease involving the vitamins folic acid and vitamin B12. Along with collaborators from around the world, we have identified genes essential for the intracellular handling of these vitamins. We propose to use next generation sequencing technology to make rapid discoveries. This has been immediately useful for the diagnosis of disease, carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis.
