Danyal Hami |
My name is Danyal Hami. I am a second year graduate student in UPGG. I am working on determining which gene products interact with Tbx1 to cause DiGeorge syndrome. In humans DiGeorge syndrome has been associated with the 22q11.2 microdeletion, which encompasses Tbx1. However, patients with this disease have been found to have varying phenotypes. So it is likely that there are other factors involved in generating the most common congenital defect of the cardiac outflow tract. Currently I am carrying out a cardiac outflow phenotype screen to create double heterozygotes using van gogh heterozygote and candidate gene eheterozygote parents. |
