Laboratory of Genetic Epidemiology.
The research in the Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology focuses on the clinical and genetic characterization of complex developmental disorders, in particular autism spectrum disorders. It concerns the search for new causes and the clinical validation of known genetic risk variants. In addition, in a joint research program with the Department of ESAT-PSI image and speech processing the research focus is on the genetic etiology of human facial features by means of 3D morphometric analyses.
