Posted By: HGG Advances HGGA: What motivated you to start working on this project? JM: From the perspective of developmental biology and physiology, I found it fascinating that a gene important for mitochondrial complex IV function could be deleted in its entirety. Yet, more important for me was the opportunity to help a family arrive... Read More

Inside HGG Advances: A Chat with Rachel Oh

Posted By: HGG Advances HGGA: What motivated you to start working on this project? RO: Accurate variant interpretation is essential to both genome diagnostics and screening in medical genetics. Canonical splice site variants (CSSVs) are considered “null variants” (in the same category as nonsense, frameshift, initiation codon, single or multi-exon deletion variants) in a gene... Read More
