A functional human genome project: integrated research of human congenital disorders. KU Leuven
One of the major challenges in contemporary biomedical research is the annotation of the human genome. This means the functional characterization of all human genes identified by the Human Genome Project. An elegant way of achieving this is to identify the genes that underlie genetic diseases in humans. We are active at the interface between clinical genetics and basic research and have a long-standing expertise in clinical and molecular ...
