Research
- 2015- (On-going)
- Cytogenetic Causes of Pregnancy Loss (Miscarriage, IUFD, SB). Department of Pediatrics/Medical Genetics/Clinical Cytogenetics Fellowship Program/Cytogenetics and Molecular Laboratory, Iowa City, IA
- Standard cytogenetic and chromosome microarray (CMA) studies of amniotic fluid, placenta, fetal tissues/fetal blood of those women who have pregnancy loss (first, second and third trimester). The study is done in collaboration with OB/GYN/Labor and Delivery. The laboratory studies related to this project will be done by our two Clinical Cytogenetics Fellows. Funding: Internal, Cytogenetics and Molecular laboratory/ Fellowship program funds.
- 2014 (On-going)
- Data entry of Variants of Unknown Significance (VUS) of chromosome microarray (CMA) analysis in repository database (DECIPHER). University of Iowa, Department of Pediatrics, Division of Medical Genetics
- The purpose of this project is to share the specific CMA abnormality of "Unknown Significance" and share related clinical manifestations with other physicians/scientists/geneticist.
