On September 23, 2021, Rosanna Weksberg, MD, PhD and Zain Awamleh, PhD from the Hospital for Sick Kids and the University of Toronto presented their work "ASXL-related neurodevelopmental disorders: the role of epigenetics" in simple scientific terms to families.
With funding support from the ARRE Foundation, Dr. Weksberg and her team are studying the patterns of DNA methylation, or signatures, associated with changes in these genes. Their research into these signatures has promise to improve our ability to diagnose ASXL-related syndromes and improve our understanding of the functions of ASXL genes.
