Chromosome 18 Clinical Research Center
A note from Dr. Cody:
"We just had an introductory webinar with the Kids First team. This is the NIH grant we got that will do whole genome sequencing on 150 of our participants with 18p- and 18q-. It was surprising to actually have someone see the value of what we do!!"
Learn more about the Kids First Team here.
