Description of Clinical Expertise
The main role of my clinical service is to provide integrated genomic testing to clinicians. I am particularly interested in neurodevelopmental disorders and mitochondrial disorders. We have developed using single long-range PCR followed by NGS for mitochondrial genome analysis, which can simultaneously detect mtDNA point mutations, small indels, provide accurate heteroplasmy level. It is also a highly sensitive assay to detect mtDNA large deletion and multiple deletions. This assay has been widely adapted by clinical diagnostic laboratories and become a new gold standard for mtDNA analysis.Selected Publications
