Description of Clinical Expertise

Dr. Wang’s clinical interests have been centered around pediatric genetic disorders and mitochondrial disorders. Collaborating with her colleagues, she developed and validated a highly sensitive and accurate clinical testing for mtDNA analysis, enabling the identification of the genetic cause of mitochondrial disorders caused by mtDNA defects. Dr. Wang is a member of the ClinGen Mitochondrial Disease Gene Curation Expert Panel (GCEP) and Variant Curation Expert Panel (VCEP). Additionally, Dr. Wang has actively participated in the clinical application of exome and genome sequencing for patients with neurodevelopmental disorders, epilepsy, and other rare undiagnosed genetic disorders.
