This webinar aims to explore the issues and management of risks related to endogamy and consanguinity and will highlight new advances in pre-natal screening protocols. Consanguineous marriage is still practiced by over 30% of the world's population and in some areas, the prevalence is as high as 60%. Advances in next-generation gene sequencing have led […]
Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of them are slightly different. These tiny differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features. Let’s explore rare imprinted genes, a special class where one parental copy is switched off, […]
